Newsletter 8/31/15

Lots of important information along with this weeks newsletter went home today. Please make sure you check your child's folder.

Popsicle Party

Forgot to mention in the last post. Since everyone had green dojo or better for the month of August, they all got popsicles as a reward for their great behavior. Extremely proud of all these kids respect and hard work.  In September the students will be working towards eating lunch outside. 

Week 3

We had a great week learning about friendship and main idea in Reading. We worked hard on identifying short a sounds as well as building basic cvc words. In addition to working with various short a words, we reviewed and tried to memorize our sights words (like, and, be, play, with, help). I am very proud of the Spelling scores for this week, lots of 100 percents! In Math we identified number words to 10 and practiced comparing numbers using more, fewer, and the same, as well as greater than and less than. We began our academic centers this week and practiced staying in task, while also rotating from one center to another. This is definitely something that takes practice, but I'm pleased with how well they did with it for the first week. I am also so proud of the kiddos who redeemed their tickets today for coupons. 3 students had 10 tickets today, and I know many were very close to reaching 10. Expecting to handout some more coupons on Monday! Hoping our hard work continues as we enter a short week ahead! Have a lovely weekend everyone:)

Reading Fun

First Day Fun

We had an awesome first day in Room 102! We discussed our classroom rules, shared our All About Me bags, and drank some "Jitter Juice," in hopes to get rid of our first day jitters. Our Jitter Juice consisted of Hawaiian Punch and Sprite, and the kids loved it. We also enjoyed sharing what similar and different emotions we had as we began the first day of school.  Looking forward to day 2 :)
