Classroom News!

Classroom News is going out again today. 
Superstars are Kairi, Carson, and all the students who brought math objects. 
Help Wanted: I am asking each student to bring $1 for the Christmas party. I have one parent volunteering to help; If you would like to help, please contact me. 
Please Remember: read each night, encourage your child to take an A.R. test. If they get 10 points, they get in the treasure box, and for 15 A.R. points, they get to have lunch with me in the classroom.

Parent Teacher Conference

I'm very thankful for those who came to parent-teacher night. I was excited to see, and speak to everyone! If you didn't get to meet with me for any reason, just give me a call at school to get one scheduled.

Tomorrow is back to school for students! I've missed all of my students, and can't wait to get back to teaching tomorrow!

A Picture from our first week of school!


We gave a hand to make our fall bulletin!!!

We have been BUSY in our classroom!!!

       I just wanted to stop by and update you on some of the things we have been doing in our classroom. We have been so busy learning and READING. 

     In reading, students are soaring through their books. I am trying hard to influence them to read their A.R. book, and take a test to earn more A.R. points! The first few students in my class to reach 20 A.R. points get to have lunch with ME! Mrs. York is also handing out certificates for A.R. points. They can come to Night Library and read books and take test while you are there as well. (If you can help me influence them to earn more A.R. points, I would greatly appreciate it.) 

      In math, we have been working on tens and ones, adding, subtracting, memorizing math facts, story problems, counting money, and counting objects. We are working hard on memorizing the math facts. I sent home flash cards if you want to work with your child at home to memorize them. Counting is a big thing we do everyday in corners. You can count at home as well; It's a fun activity for your child to count, and very helpful. 

      I'm sending notes home today about parent teacher conference on Monday. I would like to meet with everyone of you about your child. I am enjoying each student, and can't wait to tell you all about them and what they are doing in our classroom.


P.S. I hope to get some pictures on here soon......
