Hello everyone! 

January is flying by and we have so many important things going on in our class.  The students are hard at work and I am so proud of each and every one of them. Their perseverance and enthusiasm for learning are incredible to witness every day!

With all we have going on, I want to take a moment to thank you as well.  Your dedication to your children's learning is very much appreciated. I know that it may be not be easy to have your child at two different schools, but together we can give your children the best days possible! I am so thankful to be able to spend my days with your children. 

Ok, so here are some of the things going on in our class!!

Word Wall Words

Here are the Word Wall Words for this week.  We will continue practicing spelling patterns using the triangle form for homework.  The students have been working on using these words in a sentence.  Ask your child to tell you a sentence with one of their words!!

The students have been learning about how to use our success criteria to help our writing.  

When given a writing task, we have been using a writer's checklist to help them remember how to improve their writing. 

WORDS have been a big topic in our class lately!  We have been talking about synonyms, antonyms and multiple meaning words. Here are three words we have been looking at this week. Each of these words has more than one meaning.  There are so many multiple meaning words!!! Ask your children if they can help you think of some more!  

We listened to a story called "You Are Special". It is written by Max Lucado.  He writes a series of stories outlining the simple and true fact that we are all unique and wonderful. We exist in God's love and our differences and special talents are what make us amazing.  I love these stories because they deliver such a true and important message.  The students will be listening to more stories in this series and we will be talking about how they make us feel, how we can relate to the characters and how the important message relates to our lives. 


The Story Retell Journal will be coming home tonight. Please take some time to listen to your children tell you the story of Sneezy the Snowman! Please return the journal once the retell is complete!!  Enjoy!


I hope everyone has a nice weekend!!
