Hi Everyone,

Happy Easter! There is no spelling words this week since it is a short week. Wednesday is a short day this week, because of spring break. Don't forget to turn in reading and homework calendars for March. I will be sending home April's calendars on Wednesday, along with the volunteer calendar. Starting next Tuesday (May 6th) we will no longer be having snack time in our classroom. Please be sure your child has a good breakfast before he/she comes to school each day. There is no snack time in 1st grade and this will make the adjustment next year a little easier. Have a great spring break and be safe! Thank you for all your help and support.

Happy spring everyone! Wow, the weeks are flying by. I can't believe how fast the year is going. This week in our classroom, we will continue to work on telling time in math, writer's workshop and dictionary pages. Our unit will be "What hatches from an egg". The spelling words this week are the _og words. The test will be on Friday. There will be no spelling next week(Mar. 29) because of spring break. It is red ribbon week at school. Each day we will have a special activity. A list of these activities will be sent home today(Mon. Mar.22nd). Also, I have sent home an order form for HIGHLIGHTS magazine. They are offering great rewards for the class as an incentive. The great thing about this is you do not need to order the magazine to get these incentives. Just mark "no" and send the paper back in. I need 15 responses (yes or no) to qualify for the incentives. It is actually a very good magazine if you choose to get it. Thanks for helping out in this matter. Free things are always good right? Have a great week and hopefully the weather will cooperate.

Hi Everyone,

I hope you had a fun weekend. It was good to meet with all of you for SEP Conferences. Thank you for being such great and supportive parents. I believe your children are succeeding in school because of you and your involvement in their learning. This is our first full week in a while. Our spelling test will be on Friday this week. We will be studying weather in science this week. We will continue story problems with addition and subtraction and introduce telling time. I am excited for my students to get back to Writer's Workshop and write in their journals. We haven't done it for a while and they seem to really miss it. Hopefully the weather will be warming up and spring is right around the corner!! Have a terrific week.

I am looking forward to meeting with all of you this week for SEP Conferences. You should have received a confirmation letter for your time and day. If you did not receive that , please call me. The conferences are 15 minutes long. I LOVE to talk to you and find myself at the end of the day running behind and parents having to wait longer. I am going to try my best to stay on schedule. If I feel like we need more time to talk I will schedule another appointment with you at a later date. I will be sending home the report card on Wednesday. Please look it over and come with any questions that you may have. Remember that Thursday is a short day this week and there is no school on Friday. Our spelling test will be on Thursday this week. I am so excited to share your child's progress so far in Kindergarten. I know you will be very proud of them. I know I am!! Have a great week.
