Early Release: Tuesday, the 7th we get out at 2:40
Thursday, the 9th we also get out at 2:40
No School: Friday, the 10th there is no school
Conferences: Tuesday is our Conference Day. I have sent home invitations with all of the children. If anyone needs to reschedule, just let me know or call Ms. Maureen and Ms. Amy. They both have access to my schedule and can assist you.
Please pickup your child's report card in the office prior to coming to our scheduled conference. They will be available on Tuesday after the kids are released from school.
The conferences are limited to 10 minutes per customer and I will do my best to keep you all on time. Homework: Look for a project to complete outside my room. I will have an activity for the parents!
Kid Homework: The homework packets will be due on Thursday this week.
Spelling: Our test will be on Thursday. We are spelling contractions this week.
Reading: We have spent some time on ABC order. We have also been exposed to using a thesaurus to find synonyms! We have been paying attention to "quotation marks." We try to change our voices when we read like the person who is being quoted. It makes life more fun!
Grammar: We will continue to identify different kinds of nouns and verbs.
Chapter Book: We are reading The Empty Envelope. Ask your child what Josh, Dink and Ruth Rose are up to this time.
Math: Mrs. Williams' class solved story problems for 2 weeks. Then they studied them for another week. How many story problems have they solved? (A lot!)
Social Studies: We will just examine the map of our 50 states and capitals. We will also talk about being a good citizen.
New Seats: I change the desks around at the start of every month. The kids persuaded me to create 1 table for the girls and 2 tables for the boys. We will see how this goes....
I look forward to seeing everyone Tuesday. Enjoy your extra hour this weekend. I am considering seeing the Thor movie this weekend!!!!
