*Note: I left my camera at school over the weekend so check back later in the week for photos from last week.
Second semester begins tomorrow. Big changes: no more naps, more writing, more science and more math. Remember patience if there is a little more drama around dinner time/ bed time for the next few weeks as the transition is made.
Our bowling field trip is this Friday. Please dress your child in the yellow field trip t-shirt. Jeans are to be worn and remember soft soled shoes in case the bowling alley doesn't have shoes for our entire group.
Short week and report card testing last week meant no poetry journal. The poem this week will be added to during the next four weeks. It involves money and learning the different coins. The most important concept to be achieved is to learn to identify the name and value of the coin accurately. At this time, we are not actually counting the coins together. Rather, we will be working on counting by 1s, then 5s, then 10s.... Look for poetry journal this Friday.
There is a new list of word wall words in Monday's binder for the third nine weeks. Let me know if you need a copy of the first semester word wall words. Remember these words are to be read INSTANTLY upon sight. Your child should be picking out the word wall words in books.
This week it will be Tt as in turtle on a tightrope. Word wall words are: help, make, away, here, not.
Send library books to school with a ticket when ready to take an AR test. As soon as they test they can get a new library book. Every Wednesday, I have help to get the kids tested so I want everyone to take a test on Wednesday. Send tickets to test even on Wednesday.
Nancy's Italian Ice is tomorrow.
Tuesday, January 31 is Kindergarten Open House beginning at 5:30. Please tell your neighbors, if they have a child who will be in Kindergarten next year to please attend.
Report cards will be issued on Thursday at 3:10. You may keep one copy at home. Return the copy with the MPS logo to school on Friday.
The children will have their second DIBELS testing on Tuesday. Try to get a good night's rest on Monday and a good breakfast on Tuesday morning.
Send in a shoe box this week for our Valentine's Day mailbox.
Email me with any questions or concerns you may have.
