I am so glad I'm coming back to work :). I have missed everyone so much!! I really appreciated all the prayers, kind words, and get well notes/cards sent in. I have felt so loved!!
NEW STARTING THIS WEEK: Reading packets will begin this week. Every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday a reading packet will go home. On Thursday, every week, their reading text will still go home with that week's story. The reading packet is a folder with a reading book included in it. On the cover of the packet, there will be a sheet with the book's title. Each night one goes home, your child will need to fill out the info on the sheet. Each night a different folder will go home with a new reader in it. Each night they will read the book and fill out the info sheet on the cover. A parent's signature is required each night a packet goes home for homework. Remember, the signature is part of the homework, and if it is not signed, your child will have to sit out, like all other homework assignments. Thank you for all your support!
ALSO THIS WEEK: math master afternoon tutoring is this week .
Here is the updated list for each day. Days and times are : Monday- Friday from 2:45-3:30. I will allow 15 minutes after school for my students to use the bathroom and to get a drink. If you'd like, send in an afternoon snack to eat at this time. They need to fuel up for the fun we will have :)!!! Please pick your child up at 3:30 at the classroom, unless I am to walk him/her to extended care. Please let me know, and more importantly, let your child know:). Thanks!!! Let's go FIRST GRADERS!!!! LETS MAKE MATH MASTERS!!! :)
Here are our new vocabulary words this week:
swim
farther
drink
expect
built
hawk
grit
vacuum
edge
enough
clutch
gizzard
afternoon
everywhere
Here are the spelling words for this week:
cloth
planted
lift
animals
bench
slept
there
were
dusted
brushing
The words are getting more challenging, longer. However, we have learned these words, and have learned about adding endings such as "ed" and "ing". When reviewing the words, break them up with the word + the ending. When they see them as pieces that are put together, they will not have a problem spelling them. They can do it!! :) all the words are short vowel words. We have reviewed short vowel sounds all year.
A few parents have asked if we are in need of items for our classroom. We are in need of a few things. Here is a list if you would like to help :)
Pink erasers
Large brown lunch bags ( for St. Vincent Lunches)
More items to be listed at another time :) I really appreciate those of you who continue to ask if we need things!! Thanks for your support!
