The Talent Show was a huge success! The school loved the performers and they all did a super job!!

We start our new writing program today. Your child needs a 2 pocket folder, a dry erase marker, and an eraser.

Scholastic Book orders are due February 1st.

Have a great week and don't forget that Wednesday is an early out day.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

It's great to have everyone back in school this week. We have a lot of new things that we will be starting so attendance is very important :)

In Grammar we are starting to work on abbreviations for titles, months, and the days of the week. In writing, we will be learning to write a personal narrative. My math group is still working hard on learning to borrow--it's coming along nicely. Our Science unit this month is about Weather. Ask your child to tell you about the Water Cycle-precipitation, condensation, and evaporation.

Spelling Tests are still on Friday. Please continue to send in your Box Tops, Soup Labels, and Milk Caps. This month's prize will be an Olympics Game! Scholastic Book Orders are due February 1st-for each order our classroom gets a free book :)

DIBELS reports will be sent home on Friday, January 20th with your child's report card. Keep an eye out for it!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Wow! Another week has gone by! We had a great time on our Game Day! Lots of fun games were sent in. Thanks to everyone who sent in Box Tops, Soup Labels, and Milk Caps so we could win. December's prize is an Olympics game!

Our Powerpoint Presentation of our Animal Unit was well received. The students were very proud to have their parents there.

Some students are totally out of pencils, erasers, crayons, markers, and glue. Please make sure that you send in supplies when your child runs out.

We are busy learning about Christmas Around the World. We are learning about different tradions in other countries. We have "visited" Holland and your child can sing a traditional Christmas carol in Dutch! We will be "visiting" Italy next.
