Friday

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.
