Report Cards and Roller Skating!

Today your child came home with their report card.
Please celebrate their hard work and discuss any areas of concern that may need some extra attention at home.
This grading period was filled with teaching and learning MANY new skills and strategies in all subject areas.  What is asked of the children to do from the first to the second grading period is significant.
As we move forward into the 3rd grading period please continue to encourage daily writing using high frequency words in an extended sentence.  
For example, Sara likes to ski down the large mountain. Sara also likes to drink delicious, hot chocolate.
Instead of Sara likes to ski.  I like hot chocolate.  Your child should be forming his/her letters the school way. I sent home the letters that they need to be practicing last week.
Today we were singing this song. Check it out!

When reading your child should be sharing the 5Ws- WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, AND WHY.
 RazKids is great, but nothing beats a read aloud to Mom or Dad. :) Balance is the key. :)



Tomorrow Night!  SCA SKATING AND PIZZA PARTY

Thank you for the exercise balls!  They are such a hit! 
We could use a few more if anyone has any at home that they are willing to donate. 

If you would like to purchase some for our class they can be found at TARGET or AMAZON online.
