Snow problems!

WOW! What an unexpected break from school. I hope no one had any problems when the snow hit and closed down various parts of Western Washington. A little change this week because I was unable to send home the homework last week, I was making this weeks work just practice. I only sent home spelling and vocabulary so it can be practiced with an adult. There is no need to turn those papers back to me and we will be back on track this Friday. On the last Monday before the two day school closure, the students that made it in on that day, had the pleasure of learning about the human body and the bones that are inside! The students had a blast and they will finish the lesson this week. The spelling words this week are: us, up, but, fun, run, cut, plum, and jump. This weeks vocabulary words are: car, down, hear, hold, hurt, learn, their, walk, and would. Please practice these with your child and remember to read 20 or more each night!

Conference week!

Please remember to be on time for your child's conference. We have a lot to discuss and it would be very beneficial if you were there. This weeks vocabulary words are: friend, girl, know, play, read, she, sing, today, and write. This weeks spelling words are: get, ten, red, pet, men, yes, tent, and bell. Make sure to practice daily and test your child at home on a blank piece of paper for the spelling words. Please remember to do the sentence on the back, too! Check back this week for some new pictures and if there is any problem with your scheduled conference time please contact me quickly.

November plows along!

Sorry about the delay! This week is a hectic one! Wow, we have both a late start tomorrow and no school on Thursday! Remember homework is not due until Friday because of all the craziness. This weeks vocabulary words are: children, come, family, father, love, mother, people, picture, and your. This weeks spelling words are: on, not, got, box, hot, top, pond, and doll. We are working on L clusters this week, along with short o words. The class just completed a fun project on Maurice Sendak and his famous book "Where the Wild Things Are". It was a lot of fun and I will have pictures up soon. Remember to check your conference time and let me know if you can make it in.

November storms in!

Welcome to November! We have a lot to accomplish this month and not a lot of time to do it in. Conferences will be up shortly and I will have word out to parents when their times will be. This weeks words are: funny, color, like, brown, green, many, also, some, and blue. The spelling words this week are: crab, grin, trap, trip, drip, grab, brown, and crack. We are working on 'r' clusters in class and the spelling list helps reinforce that concept with the children. The Halloween party the students received was a lot of fun and I want to thank the parents/family who donated time and treats to the event, it is greatly appreciated! This month the class will learn about Maurice Sendak books and art work, pictures and information to follow soon.
