November 7, 2011

Hello,

I am happy to report that the week has started off great. We spent the morning doing stations, focusing on reading groups, spelling,
and handwriting. All students had the chance to read Time For Kids magazine. It is a great magazine focusing on current events written for a 1st and 2nd grade audience. 

We finished the afternoon with Math and Library. 

Please check your students homework bag this afternoon. There are a couple other notices along with reading homework inside the bags today. They are: 

- A letter about the Thanksgiving Community Dinner

- A moon observation journal: Please observe the moon this week. Have your student record what the moon looks like. I am asking for only two moon observations, as I know everyones week is really busy! If you would like to do more than two feel free. Please bring the moon observation journal back to school on Friday. 

- Some students still have the notice about the W.E.S Winter Sports Program in their bags. The paperwork needs to be returned to school by Friday, November 11th! 

Mr. Young will be back in class tomorrow as the lead teacher. My last solo teaching day will be this Wednesday. Thank you parents for being so flexible and allowing me to be a part of your students classroom. I greatly appreciate it. It's been a wonderful experience! 

Have a wonderful afternoon, 

Brandy (Ms. Hines)
