I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! This is a picture of my family from Christmas day (my step-son Thad, Me,Olivia, Dad, Mom, Bella, brother Matt, neice Alexis, sister Chelsey and her boyfriend Grant). I can't believe it was warm enough again to have pictures taken outside!
Progress Reports:They will be sent home sometime this week along with the students "Data Notebook". Please look this over and check out their progress thus far in the year. If you have concerns or questions please do not hesitate to ask. I ask that the notebooks be returned as soon as you are done showing off their work to others or checking it out. I will continue to use these the rest of the year and they will be yours at the end :)
Family Book: The school wide book this year was sent home with your oldest child from East before we left for break. The book this year is Stuart Little. We will not be reading the book in class because we have been reading the Junie B. series gearing up for our spring field trip :) (info to come later). The School wide Family Reading Night will be February 4th from 6:30-7:30 and will be centered around the book.
Reading Groups: This week in Kindergarten we will begin reading groups. I wanted to give you a heads up that some of the students will be participating in reading groups in Mrs. O'Mealy's classroom. We are collaborating this year to give the students maximum benefit with students at their reading level. Some of the students will also be going with Mrs. Hillenburg as well for group.
Sight word lists: Please continue to work with your child on their sight word lists. I will send home information soon about when the celebration pizza party will be. This celebration will for those students who have past through list 5 so far. At the end of the year I will have another celebration for those who get past list 10 and the students who didn't make it to 5 by the first party.
