Good evening all. I hope you all had a great weekend. This past week (and continuing this week) the kids will be doing a lot of assessments. They are all working on their final small moment stories. The kids all completed a sight word test, and this week we will have a spelling assessment, a math assessment and early literacy assessments. The good news is they won't be assessed during lunch and recess. We feel they have a good handle on this 😀.
A reminder that Secret Pal starts this week. I sent home paper for kids to create their cards. Each student (participating) also had an envelope with who their secret pal is and a schedule for the week. Please, please make sure to follow through with each day's item as well as sending it in on time. It puts a lot on me if you forget.
This past Wednesday, I used our project time to talk about resolutions and the idea of New Year's resolutions. I tied this into our focus on kindness. The class broke into three groups and each group read a book about kindness. They then each identified a kind resolution for school and home and created a mini poster about each one. These will be sent home this week as well as displayed in our room.
NOTES:
*I am out until 9:15 tomorrow morning for an appointment.
*We have enough donations of cider and cookies for Thursday.
This will be the last post before the New Year. I hope you all have a wonderful end to 2023 and ring in the new year with a sense of happiness and joy that each and everyone of you deserves.
Peace,
Mr. Young
PS: The girls' varsity basketball game has a home game on Thursday @7:00 pm. Make sure the kids come over and say hello if they come to the game.
