Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had a relaxing break and Happy New Year!

***Remember Optional Homework packets will begin going home on Monday. Your child’s reading log will be included in that packet (no need to use the monthly log anymore).
Winter coats, hats and gloves/mittens are a must! We will go out unless the temperature is extremely low.

During Reading Workshop we...
  • Talked about how we have grown as readers!
  • Decorated our NEW books bags. 
  • Met with our NEW book buddies!
  • Shopped for NEW Just Right books.
Our shared reading was a poem called Snowball by Shel SilversteinWe will continue reading this poem next week.

Sight Words - Our latest class words are with, what, that, your, as.  Students practiced their sight words, and individual sight words will go home next week.

During Centers we practiced a new activity - stamping!  Everyone did a wonderful job using the the sight word stamps and beginning consonant stamps. 

During math we began a new Cathy Fosnot Unit called Apple Boxes. 

Have a wonderful weekend!
