Please use our Reading Street pages for additional practice at home.  This week we learned letters J-N, sound discrimination, syllables, and setting.  We also reviewed the sight words I and am.

Out Of The Building

I will be out of the building tomorrow.  If you are sending in important papers to school please remind your child to tell the guest teacher.  As always please call or email me with any questions or concerns. Have a great weekend my Monday/Wednesday students. :)

Blog Posting Paper Sent Home...PLEASE send back!

Please check your child's Wednesday/Thursday folder for a blog posting permission slip. I love to add pictures for you and your extended family to see.  Pictures will include our daily learning, birthday messages, and other special activities we have going on.  Please note that if your slip is NOT returned your child's face will be shown on the blog.

Thanks so much for your help!

How To Print The Sight Word Book

Good Morning!

I have received emails about the sight word book, I Am!   If you need an additional copy you can print it off from the blog post, We Are On Our Way With Reading Street.  Click on the icon of the work book pages and it will direct you to my Scribd site where you can download pages 3 and 4.

Parent Volunteers!

Thank you Mrs. Sammons and Mrs. Behrend for volunteering this week!! Your help and time in the classroom is WONDERFUL!!!!  

We are on our way with Reading Street!

This week marks the beginning of Reading Street instruction.  The students loved watching the concept video about transportation, singing the weekly song, practicing the letters Aa, Bb,and Cc, and working with rhyming words.  I was very impressed with their energy and excitement while learning their 2 new sight words I and am.  Everyone was focused and enjoyed reading their first book.  Please continue to read their sight word book, I Am!  several times throughout the week.  Remind your little one that they should point to each word as they read to help increase their ability on tracking words. I am looking forward to our 2nd day of Reading Street when we work on the letters Dd and Ee as well as continuing our learning about characters in a story.  


I would also like to inform you that if pages come home unfinished please do not get concerned.  Our workbook is very hard for students to use independently.  Before your child is sent to work on their own, I model all the pages on the SMART board along with having many volunteers share their thinking.
If you would like additional practice time at home, below is a copy of our practice pages for this week.  :)

Weekly Reflection

What a great week! It was so nice to have all week getting to know your child.  Please check your child's Wednesday/Thursday folder for PTA information and a questionnaire from me.  Your responses and information are so helpful in understanding how I can encourage your child to be the best student possible.


Next week we will continue to work on classroom procedures  and continue with our learning of letters and different comprehension skills.


Please continue to ask your child about their day and learning.  We are busy, busy learners. :)

It's Going To Be A GREAT Year!

This week we practiced classroom procedures and how to work with others. We also wrote about our day and practiced numbers.  Please check your child's book bag for his/her exploration with letters and using a glue stick.

School Supplies

I will be collecting school supplies tomorrow.  Please remember that my room will be using community supplies and your child's name DOES NOT need to be printed on their supplies.  If you already have your child's name on their supplies they will still be placed with the community supplies.  Thank you for your support with this classroom management choice.   

A Special Visitor to Amelia!

We had a special "visitor" come to Amelia to leave us hints about important places around our school.  Chester, our new character friend, from the Kissing Hand placed hands around the school and our room so that your child would learn about specials places for learning.  


All the students had a great time on the kissing hand tour and loved meeting Mrs. Walker, Mrs. Knudsen, and Mrs. Rooks.  Make sure you check your child's book bag for a special gift that was made for you.  I know some of you will need this little secret we learned from Chester when your little one is at school. :)

Welcome Wednesday Kindergarteners!

It was such a joy to meet my last set of kindergarten friends today.  Everyone did such a great job practicing our lunch, hallway, and dismissal rules.  We had a great day with singing, writing, and playing!  The best news is that everyone earned a marble for a perfect lunch practice! :)

I can't wait to see everyone again on Friday.  Have a great night.
