Happy New Year!!!!
Welcome back!
I hope that everyone had a nice and relaxing holiday!
What a great day we had today! I was so excited to see everyone today and hear about the amazing adventures everyone had over the holidays. I am very happy to hear that everyone had a nice holiday with family and friends.
On with our day!
Today we learned our new word wall words. Here are the words for the week!
You may notice that the format of the Word Wall homework has changed. The students are being asked to write their words in triangle form. This requires the students to write the words one letter per line, adding one letter each time, creating the shape of a triangle.
For example:
TOY
T
TO
TOY
The goal is to help the students remember the spelling patterns in each word. The students practiced this today in class!
Please let me know if you have any questions about the activity!
As the new year has just begun, we took some time today to discuss resolutions. We talked about how people use the turning of the new year to set a goal for themselves, to try and improve on something. The students did a good job brainstorming some good ideas for resolutions. Some great examples were: learning to play an instrument, reading more and practicing a sport!
Throughout the week, each student will be setting a goal for him/her self. They will also be looking at steps they need to take to meet their goals. Ask your child about what they are looking to improve on!
Today we read the story, Sneezy the Snowman. It is a tale of a snowman who is sometimes too hot and sometimes too cold. We will read this story many times throughout the month. At the end of the month, the students will be asked to complete their Story Retell Journals about using this story!
I apologize for the delay, but homework calendars will be sent home shortly, Check your child's homework folder for their calendar this week. Thanks!
Just a reminder that this week will be COLD! Please make sure that they children are dressed appropriately.
This will be a busy month, so stay tuned for more information!
Again, I wish you all a Happy New Year!
Stay warm!!
