September 28, 2011

Good Morning,

It was so nice seeing so many of you during the Open House.  It is very rewarding to see the students so excited about their room and their work.  I was glad they had an opportunity to show you around.



Today we Skyped with Claudia Derrberry.  It was nice to catch up with her and hear about some of her early experiences in France.  It was a nice way to introduce the technology to the students (some of them already knew it).  During stations students worked on their sight words by making rainbow words, wrote in their journals, some practiced making the letters V and Y while others worked on their Time For Kids work, and everyone had a chance on the computers.  During this time Ms. Hines gave a bench mark spelling test, and I worked on finishing the math assessments.  This afternoon we had math and worked in our science notebooks.  it was our last day of observing plants.  The kids were taught how to use a Venn Diagram to compare to items.

Remember that Friday is Uniform Day.  Your child is encouraged to wear their favorite teams apparel, a uniform from a team that they play on, or a shirt that represents something they do (i.e. dance).  I will be sporting my Steeler Jersey this week.  If your child wants to put on the shirt after pictures are taken, I will let them have that chance.

*Picture Day is Friday at 8:00
*Please make sure your child has a water bottle each day
*If you have signed your child up for fluoride and have decided they no longer need to do it, please let Sue know.

I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Peace,
Tom
