August 27-30

Hi Everyone!
What a great job you are all doing!  I was so encouraged today to read with your children!  I could really tell that they have been working on their sight words.  Thanks for your help.  It takes all of us.

This week we will be learning blending and reading words, counting up to and back from 20, review 2 D shapes (learning the words vertex and vertices, yeiks!  These guys are so smart, they will have it down by the end of the week) and Apples.  Tuesday Ryan's mom will be coming in to teach us a little about apples and on Thursday afternoon we will be making and eating applesauce!  mmmmm

I found my camera! Yay!  Now if I can just remember to take it to school with me!

I really need help in the afternoons between 2:15 and 3:00.  One or two parents a day would be awesome! 

Thanks for everything.  Don't forget our Open House on September 11th.  We will be going over classroom expectations, our handbook and Beyond Textbooks.  PLEASE try to make it!  Thanks!

Please call me if you need anything!

One week down!  This new schedule is sure hard on these little guys.  Can you just imagine going from 2 hours of school to 7?  These guys are hungry by 9:00 in the morning, again at 1:30 and then again at 3:30.  We are trying to take breaks and ease our way into the full load.  Thank you to all of you who sent in snacks.  That will really help these guys!

This week we will be doing lots of counting, learning all about picking  an appropriate book, reading sight words and studying our spelling words.  We will have a spelling test Thursday morning so please help your child study.  (spelling words came home in our newsletter tonight).

It looks like I will be needing help Monday - Wednesday from 2:15-3:00.  We will be having a Reteach and Enrich time where we will be working on math concepts we have been learning.  We will be working in centers and I will need help running those.  If any of you can come in and help during any of those days please let me know.

Thanks for all you do!  You are wonderful and so are your children!

Happy First Day of School!  Boy is this a cute class or what?!  Your children are GREAT!  This is going to be a fun year.  Sound off...anything we need to do better?  What worked? What didn't.  Let me know!

I have lost my camera...Just don't know how I always do that.  But we are going to turn our house upside down tonight and hopefully find it so i can post pictures soon.  

This week we are just getting used to each other and being at school so no stress on homework.  Next week we will start going full steam ahead.

Hope you all enjoyed your day.  I sure did!  Thanks again for being awesome parents!
