Let it snow, let it snow!

Today, we worked on writing sentences with an uppercase letter in the
front and an ending mark at the end. We also started subtracting in
math. We also painted large paper eggs for Easter to hang on our walls.
They are very colorful!

Watch that weather!

Hello everyone! Today, we worked on sounding out words and writing
sentences. We also did some adding with dominoes and finished our math
unit about adding numbers. We are getting things ready for conferences
so I hope to see you either this Thursday or next Monday. Be sure to
keep an eye on the weather and drive safe!

What a great group of kids! Today, they worked hard at sounding out
three letter words, practiced the /u/ sound, added during math time, and
made flowers for Spring. We also read the book, Cloudy with a Chance of
Meatballs. They loved the story! Just a heads up, we will not be having
library for two weeks due to the book fair. Have a great day!

A Good Day

Hello families,
Today we worked on sounding out words, adding small numbers, and we
read a new take home book. We also took a little time to clean up our
room. Please watch the news to see if we have school tomorrow. Have a
great evening and go Bombers!

Today we sounded out words and added in math. We were unable to visit
the computer lab because our group wasn't working very hard and reading
took a lot more time. In the afternoon, we went to the high school for
our pep fest. Tomorrow is a half day. Please remember that Friday is a
questionable day-we will see the results of Thursday's game!

Good Day

Today we worked hard to finish our end of the quarter testing. We wrote
our letters and numbers. We visited with our Above the Line Groups and
also went to the library. For snack, we ate a healthy green snack
consisting of apples, snap peas, and kiwi. Tomorrow, we will go to the
pep fest during the afternoon. On Thursday, students will be dismissed
at 12:15. School on Friday will be determined by the game on Thursday.
Have a great day!

We worked hard today on sounding out words. We began adding small
numbers in math using objects. We also made a St. Patrick's Day hat that
was sent home in your child's backpack. Tomorrow is library day so
please send your child's books. Also, we will be going to the high
school on Wednesday for a pepfest and there will be a half day of school
on Thursday due to the state tournament. I hope you can attend!

It's good to be back!

We did a very good job today of working hard and getting things done. We
practiced our spelling words, made a graph during math time, and visited
the computer lab. We also measured a paper leprechaun and read a
leprechaun story; "The Luckiest Leprechaun". Have a great day!

It is a new week, but unfortunately, the same old bugs are traveling
around. Today, we worked on sounding out words, making graphs, and we
talked a little about leprechauns. We also visited the computer lab and
read a story about patriotism. I will unfortunately be gone tomorrow (my
kids are still sick), so the kids will be with a sub. They will be
sounding out words, practicing sounds, counting by fives, and visiting
the library. Hope all is well with you and yours!

do great!

Well, I am gone again! I will be home with sick children for a day or
two. Today, the kids will be having an Above the Line group meeting,
going to the library, and sounding out words. Tomorrow, they will be
working on graphing in math, sounding out words in reading, and
visiting the computer lab. They will also be looking at more maps.
Have a great day!
