No Lazy Janes In Room 115

Those twenty portraits represent the hard workers of Room 115.  Lazy Jane is not a member of our classroom.  Check out the poem in our poetry journal to see how lazy Lazy Jane really is.  Also, look in the poem for a different way to write/read the letter a.

Don't forget that Monday is library day, Nancy's Italian Ice Day (for $1.00) and return your poetry journal.    We will also be rotating to a new specialist:  Mr. Darby for art!

In reading we will be investigating the letter Hh as in horse in a house.  The word wall words will be:  I, brown, black, white. On Friday, September 14, we will  have Hilarious Hat day to celebrate the letter Hh.  You can make a hilarious hat at home with any supplies you find funny.  A regular hat from home will do if there is no hilarity in your week.

We will slowly enter into small group reading instruction this week.  Start looking for homework the week of September 17.  This week we will be practicing the responsibilities we have during small group reading instruction.   We have started to practice our behavior during centers. Check out the slide show  of our work ethic.
 

In math, we continue to work on numbers up to five. Last week we learned the math vocabulary of number pairs.  We worked very hard on investigating the number pairs for the number five.

Thank you to all of those who came to our small group cluster meeting.  It was so nice to meet  with you in a casual setting. Thank you so much for supporting the learning of Room 115.  I am going to have ONE make-up cluster meeting on Tuesday at 4:30 in the classroom.  After the meeting stay for the 6:00 PTA meeting.  Carrabas will have food available to purchase. 

Be on the lookout in Monday's binders about information on Blount's JUST GIVE campaign.  If the PTA meets their goal, there will not be any fundraisers for the entire year! The children attended a pep rally on Friday to get excited about the JUST GIVE campaign.  Thank you for supporting our school.  Information about the program will be in Monday's notebook.
