Week 15

We will not be having an assessment or learning new words this week.  We will be reviewing previous skills.  We will continue learning about Thanksgiving through reading and writing.  We will be working on teen numbers throughout December. 
Remember Tuesday is the last day this week.  Enjoy the holidays with your family!  I am thankful for the opportunity to spend this year learning alongside of your children.  They are a blessing to us both!

Week 14

Wow, it has been a busy week preparing for today's Thanksgiving meal.  It was a huge success with several families having an opportunity to join us.  Thank you for all of the supplies you provided for our costumes!  Just a few reminders:  Friday is school spirit day.  Next week is a two day week.  We will not have new words or an assessment next week!  This week we will be assessing the words: and, if, big, little.  We are continuing to focus on teen numbers.  We are learning all about Thanksgiving and why we celebrate it.  We are focusing on sounding out words to write sentences about Thanksgiving.  We will be sending interims home Monday the 23rd.
