Skills Group Teachers (HH)

Next week, your child will meet their Skills Group teacher.  Below is a picture of Mrs. Peach, Mrs. Armstrong, and Mrs. Hauck who will be helping me with skills groups.

Your child will be placed in a group based on their DIBELS score and moved throughout the year based on weekly assessments.

Beginning Sound Game

We have been playing Snap in the classroom to work on beginning sounds.  Here is a copy for you to print and use at home. 


Croc. Beginning Sound Game c,d,j,n
Directions: 

Crocodile Snap*

Print and cut apart the crocodile cards and fish cards. ( Note: I have the fish on blue cards and the crocodile on green cards.) Turn all cards face down and have your child pick 1 blue and 1 green card.  If the letter and beginning sound of the picture picked matches, your child gets to call out "SNAP" and collects both cards.  The player with the most matches at the end wins. 

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. :)
