Sunday Funday!!

Hi Families,

I call it Sunday Funday because with cold weather like this, you need to find something fun to do.  I went to Wal-Mart and found fun Valentine’s Day things!  Our party is probably going to be at 12:30 pm…right after lunch, on Friday, February 14^th.  Please let me know if you are interested in helping out during the party.  More information will come home this week.  I know that something has happened to the background on my blog…I am trying to figure it out, bare with me! 

Well, hopefully we will have a full week of learning.  I saw snow on the Monday night forecast…eekkkk! 

This week…..

ü Will be a lot like last week because of the snow days

ü We will have a library lesson tomorrow at 12:30 pm

ü We will visit the center room on Tuesday and Thursday

ü I am in the process of completing formal running records (reading levels) on all students.  I am hoping to make a phone call home to all families in the coming weeks to update you on academic progress.  Like I’ve said a million times,  I am so impressed with your students!  They amaze me every day!

ü Many students have saved enough Hero Slips to share a personal object during “Show and Tell.”  I am very impressed with their speaking skills.  They have made eye contact and answered questions from their peers.

ü Many students are very close to earning enough Hero Slips to eat lunch with me in the classroom!! If that is your student…tell them to keep working hard, they’re almost there!

ü In the spring I will have “Lunch Bunch” - every Friday I eat lunch with 4 friends and we have a special treat!  Every student will have a chance to do this.

ü Our academic goals and lessons will be the same as last week – please refer to my last Sunday Post

ü Sight Words – said, play, where

ü In whole group reading we will recall key details from a nonfiction text – we are using various animal books to practice this skill.

P.S. I got Frozen Valentine’s for our class.  It’s a great movie – my new favorite!! If you haven’t seen it…I say go!!

Have a Super week everyone!
