Today, we practiced sounding out words and counting by fives. The
children were able to list 41 words that started with the letter N! The
children will visit the music room, gym, and computer lab this
afternoon. Unfortunately, I will be gone tomorrow. Miss G. will be the
substitute teacher. The children are very familiar with her and enjoy it
when she comes in the classroom. I will send home all end of the week
papers today. Have a great weekend!

Brrrrr

Today the children worked on sounding out words (surpise, surprise:) and
counting by tens. They stayed in from recess because of the chilly
temperatures. This afternoon, the kids will be visiting the gym and
music room, discussing outer space (namely the sun and moon), and
visiting the computer lab. Have a great day!

The children did a fantastic job on their reading testing today! I will
send home a letter with your child's report card letting you know your
child's scores. Everyone was near or above the goal. I am very proud of
their hard work. The children worked on sounding out words today and
practiced numbers to 100. We will be counting by 5's and 10's in math
this week. They also visited the music room, gym, and computer lab
today. Have a great day:)

The children got a lot done in just a few hours today. They sounded out
words, finished our math centers, read stories, and had their lunch and
recess. Have a wonderful weekend and we will talk again on Tuesday!

Hello!

Today the children worked on sounding out words and writing their
numbers to 100. We also completed centers and visited the gym and music
rooms. Remember, there is only a half day of school tomorrow. Have a
great day!

The children did an excellent job sounding out words today. All of the
kids can find at least two sounds for every word. I have never had a
class accomplish this so early in the school year. The children
completed math centers again today as well as visiting the gym and music
room. We will have a lockdown practice at 2:00 this afternoon to review
school safety procedures. The children understand that we practice these
drills to be prepared, however they will probably never have to do it
for real. Enjoy the heat wave!

The kids did a great job of listening after coming back from a three-day
weekend. We practiced sounding out words this morning. We also practiced
numbers in our math centers. Some children worked on adding at this time
while others practiced their number to 20 or 100. The children had
activities that were appropriate to their needs. We also discussed
Martin Luther King Jr this afternoon. The children learned that he was
an important man because he helped the world understand the importance
of all getting along. Have a wonderful day!

Have a Great Weekend!

Today we read our new take-home book "What Do We See". The kids are
doing a fabulous job of reading their quick words. We also finished our
math unit on numbers to 20 and read "Polar Bear, Polar Bear". In the
afternoon, we visited the gym and music rooms. We will be going to the
high school at 1:10 to watch a performance of Cinderella. The kids are
really looking forward to it. Have a great weekend!

We're Having a Heat Wave!

Today we practiced finding the ending sound in a word. The kids reach
out and "grab" the sound. Most children need to say the word out loud to
find it. We also practiced numbers and made penguin art. We visited the
gym, music room, and computer lab today. Enjoy the heat wave!

Today, the children started out with a sounds practice page. They are
doing a wonderful job finding the beginning sound in a word. We
practiced numbers and counting. I have started testing math skills for
this quarter. The kids are doing a great job. We would like all children
to recognize numbers to 20 by this point in the school year. We started
our Arctic unit today and discussed some of the animals that live in the
coldest places on Earth. Have a great day!

We're Having a Heat Wave...

Today the kids worked on sounding out words in their workbooks (such as
skate, mop, and mask). We created graphs in math (do you prefer white or
chocolate milk) and practiced writing numbers 9 thru 11. Some of the
children are turning their nine around, so we use the poem 'circle and a
line makes a nine'. We also visited the gym, music room, and the
computer lab. Have a great day!

Today the children worked on sounding out words and counting. We read
"The Mitten" and created a fun project that will allow your child to
share the story with you. We also visited the gym and library today.
Have a great day!

Have a great weekend!

Today we read our new take-home book entitled "What do we do now?" It
will come home today. We also worked on numbers and completed our
centers. With our reader pals, we created snowman windsocks. We also
visited the music room and the gym. As a reward, your children had a
little movie time today. I was very impressed with their hard work this
week. Many children can have a hard time adjusting back into the routine
of school after a long break. This year, I didn't see that at all! Plus,
they even moved forward with their reading and math goals rather than
falling behind. Excellent work!

Brrrrr

Today we practiced sounding out words and counting. The kids are doing a
great job of finding the beginning and ending sounds of words. We mainly
use our workbooks for these activities, so you will not see too many
papers of this sort coming home. We also visited the music room, gym,
and computer lab. Have a great day!

Today we worked on finding the ending sound of a word. The kids hold up
their hand and try to "grab" the end of the word. We practiced with the
words cat, dog, grass, grill, bear, and fox. We also practiced numbers
and counting in math and visited the gym and music rooms. The children
had a choice day in computer lab. Have a great day!

Happy 2010

Welcome back! The kids did a great job of getting back into our routine.
They had fabulous behavior and listening today! Today we practiced

visited the gym and library. Happy New Year!
