Parents,
This week students did a little better on their work plans. They will come home Tuesday, so you can see what they completed and read any comments I may have made. Next week I will give my 1st levels and some 2nd levels sight words to bring home. They should practice reading the words each night. All students are encouraged to practice reading, handwriting, or math facts a little each night.

August 25th
Parents,
Tomorrow is Blue/Yellow Day. Students may wear a blue shirt, yellow shirt, school shirt, or spirit shirt with uniform pants. This is to celebrate the selling of 300 Smart Cards. We are continuing to work this week on our workplans and group lessons. Many students are having trouble completing their work, so we may switch from working on all our week assignments to working on one day at a time. We are trying to figure out what works best for the class.

Monday August 18th
Today we read the story The Very Busy Spider, this will be the basis of our activities this week. I met with small groups to discuss work plans and explain each assignment. We completed a whole group activity, before beginning our work plans. Students had the opportunity to work independently from 9am-11:20am, 12:00-12:35, and 1:00-1:45. Students should have their work from last week in their folder for you to sign and return tomorrow.

Good Evening Parents :)
Friday is Hat Day, so your child can wear a hat if they would like. Today we continued working on our work plans. Remember that their work plans are for in-class work, they have PLENTY of time to do this work in class. Some of our new students are still adjusting to the new Montessori style, so they may be a little behind and that is fine. Students do not have to work on their workplans at home, unless they have a meeting with me on Friday and we decide this is the best opinion. I do always encourage students to practice their Spelling words at home and to read any books that they enjoy!
Reminder of our schedule:
Lunch - 11:25 - 11:55
Tuesday - Art/Music 9:45
Wed. - Computer Lab 8:30
PE 9:35
Guidance/Library 12:30
There are no scheduled activity classes on Monday, Thursday, and Friday.

Work Plans/Learning Plans
Parents,
I forgot to send home the Snack Schedule today...so sorry! We will send it tommorow. Today we began our work plans. The students are responsible for working independently on their plans throughout the day. Students should complete at least 5 works a day to stay on schedule. Our 1st and 2nd levels had no problems staying on task, some of our 3rd levels however spent a lot more time socializing rather than working. Please talk to your children about the importance of using our time effectively. All papers and the work plans will be sent home on Mondays for parents to sign and look over. Thanks,
Mrs. B
Reminder- We have Art/Music on Tuesdays at 9:45 and we have Computer, PE, and Library/Guidance on Wednesdays.

Week 2
Parents,
I will be sending a snack schedule home this week that goes through Christmas. Mrs. Harris asked us to remind parents to try to bring healthy snacks for the classroom. She also wanted us to remind our parents that fast food is not allowed in the building at any time. Also, if you are checking your child out early, you must do so before 2:45.
This week we will start working on our lessons and workplans/learning plans. These will come home on Friday for you to review and sign.

Day 3
Today we completed our ABC books, had library, PE, and computer lab! The kids had lots of fun:). We have decided as a class that to preserve the peaceful learning environment we will only have ice cream at lunch on Fridays. Students can purchase ice cream for $0.75.

Day 2
Today we continued to work on our ABC books,went over rules and procedures, and practiced working independently with our Montessori materials. The students did great! Tomorrow we have computer lab, PE, and library. If your child does not have a pair of headphones, feel free to send some tomorrow for them to use in computer lab. I am enjoying getting to know all of your children:)

Day 1
We had a great first day of school! Today we went over rules and procedures, created illustrations of rules, and started working on an alphabet book. We also had an opportunity to have lunch together and go out for recess:). We will continue to talk about rules and procedures throughout the week, with an emphasis on being courteous, respectful, and effective in the classroom.

First Week of School
Parents,
The 1/2 day of school went very well; everyone seemed to settle in nicely! Your child may have made it home with a brown paper bag that they decorated. If they did, they can put something or multiple things in the bag that represent themselves and we will share with the class Monday morning. This is not an extensive project, it can be as simple as a family photo or their favorite toy. This week we will be working on procedures such as, lunch choice, eating breakfast, walking down the hallway, restoring our environment, raising our hands to speak, practicing our sign language, gathering on the carpet, etc.. We will be sending home folders tomorrow with info from the office and an info sheet from me to be filled out whenever you have time. :) I also wanted to introduce my children that will be a Bemis this year: Gavin, Glory, Gracie, and Gibson. They also have a little brother Griffin that is 1 year old :)
