Thank you to all the parents and children who were able to attend the Open House on Thursday! It was fun to watch the children show their parents around the room and many of the activities that we do. I also enjoyed talking to many of you. I am so lucky to have a great group of children!
We made it through our first full week of Words Their Way spelling activities. I was very pleased with how well many of the students did this week with the activities and on the test. Please continue to help your child with the sorts and practice spelling the words, including the high frequency words. This weeks words are:
saw, something, thought, both
It should be a pretty normal week this week. We moved our desks so the students should be excited about their new groups/tribes along with their new names.
We are finishing up our first unit in math. We will be taking our post test next week. Please help your child practice their multiplication facts. We have learned the following facts: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10.
We are also finishing our unit in literacy called 'Caring About Characters.' We have been learning about character traits, how characters change from the beginning to the end, and how we can learn lessons from the characters we have read about.
You should have received your conference time on Friday.  Please return the conference form ASAP. I look forward to seeing all of you then.
