It sounds like everyone had a wonderful Christmas break!
Grade cards will be on Skyward on Friday after school. Please look at the skills and comments and let me know if you have any questions. I do take a lot of time to fill in comments about your child's progress because I want you to understand why they got the scores I gave them. So, please take time to read the comments and converse with your child about them so they also understand the importance of working hard at school and to understand the point of a grade card.
Please return December Book it Calendars by Wednesday for your child to receive their Pizza Hut Coupon! January calendars were sent out before the break.
Friday is another fun day in our class, as we have the Book Bash! I have 4 parents who've graciously offered to come in and read to the children in 4 stations. The kids can wear their PJ's and bring a small pillow or blanket to lay on while listening to the readers. Your child can also bring their favorite book from home to look at during our "read to self" station. They are just little "bookworms" learning how to read! I am amazed at their progress from the beginning of the year! I would like to treat our "bookworms" with a special gummy worm treat to eat while they are reading their books. Would anyone be willing to donate 2 worms a piece in individual baggies for Friday?
Reading this week! We are reading a fiction book called, "Munching Millie" about a goat that eats everything until a plan is formed. We will be looking for nouns and verbs in our story, and talk about where they are in sentence structure.
3rd quarter sight words! We are beginning our 3rd quarter sight words! If your child has not passed 2nd quarter, please work on those until they are mastered.
Sight word: had
Letter: Rr, ar-r controlled vowel.
Check out Spelling City on the right side of the blog for your child to play games to learn their 1st-3rd quarter sight words! Another way to make learning them fun!
Social Studies: Kansas Symbols--We will be talking about our Kansas Symbols this month gearing up for Kansas Day on Jan. 29. This week we are learning about: the state flower: sunflower, the state tree-Cottonwood tree, the state animal--The American Bison, and the Jayhawk as the symbol for those that were born in Kansas.
Math this week! We are on Topic 15--Position and location of shapes--(inside, outside, above, below, on, in front of, behind, left and right). This seems to be an easy concept for most.
