Aug. 29th


 We had a fabulous week! Many of the students passed off +10 from 0-10 and have moved on to +10 from 11-100.  We started a new writing assignment called “Overall Me” and will be working on it most of September. We had our first week of reading groups and have been working on passing off sight words. Once your child has passed off their sight words they will bring home the “Fry Phrases” to work on.  I am sending home a list of sight words for children who need extra help. Most children will be on ‘Fry Phrases” next week.  In Social Studies we have started to fill out the “Me on the Map” of the world.  We start with our “Home” because that is where children are the most.
          I have about half of the class paper plates with pictures and words about them. Please make them and return them to school if you have not finished this project.  I would like each child to bring an old sock to school that they can use to erase their white boards.
Thank You for letting me teach your child.  They are all very respectful and courteous children. We have a very well behaved class.
