Student Drawings

Here are the drawings from our students. These students earned a perfect score!!

Enjoy looking at them and smiling at each one. :)

Open House Power Point

We wanted to post the Power Point from Open House on here. In case you lost your copy or had any questions, you could refer back to this. :)

Also, we want to give a big thank you to all the parents that took time out of their busy day and came to Open House. It meant a lot to us!!

Week of September 9

We have a busy week planned!! We are trying to complete testing for Progress Reports. As of right now Progress Reports are scheduled to go home next week. However with the lost days of school, the date may be extended. 

We have Resources this week: Art and P.E. Then half of the class will be getting a big surprise and going to Spanish Class!! (We have decided which half will be going, but rest assured those students that don't go this time. They will go next time.) Also, Edward is signed up for Fun Friday Snacks on Friday and it's JEANS DAY!!! We are hoping for 100% participation... and maybe even another visit from Mr. Gilley. 

SKILLS

We are continuing to practice recognizing letters and correlating them to their sounds. A few students are in the letter club, but overall we need to practice with every single letter! We are starting Sight Word Money )just a fancy way we discuss our sight words in Room 41!) You'll notice the slideshow below. Use it to practice with your child. Our predictable chart we will be working on is: I like to_______. Every day a few students will be called to tell what they like to do outside during Recess. 

Finally... name writing!! Please be practicing with your child on writing their first name with the beginning letter as uppercase and the rest lowercase. We practice daily on this, however some students try writing all the letters uppercase.

READING
Our story this week is The Recess Queen. (If you've never listened to this book- please check it out! It's a great story.) We are working on the same concepts as we did for Chicka Chicka Boom Boom~ predictions, retell, connections, opinions and comprehension.
On Friday we will be taking a Comprehension Check to make sure the students are able to recall information from the story. Our check is a simple happy/ sad face. They color happy if the event occurred and they color the sad face if it did not occur.


WRITING
Our people are coming along nicely! Make sure to practice drawing them at home with your child and discuss the parts as you draw.
Here are pictures that I have drawn with the students to help.

MATH

We are busy counting objects and sorting them!! You'll notice your child bringing home lots of papers this week. Please go over it with your child. Some students need to complete the papers and others need to practice counting and matching the amount to the color. 

Here are some counting songs to practice at home with your child.

SCIENCE
When the time works into our schedule, we will discuss tools that Scientists use. 

Hat Day on 9/6

We had visitors for Hat Day!! Our principal, Mr.Gilley, came down in the morning. Then in the afternoon our Assistant Principal, Mrs.Seibert. along with our Book Keeper, Mrs.Cone. 

The students smiled so big when they saw the visitors and were super excited to pose with them. 

School Closings!!

Due to Hurricane Dorian canceling school~ we are waiting to do a weekly blog post. 

Our classroom is one of the rooms used as a Shelter at Chimney Lakes. We hope to return to school soon with our classroom all in order, however that may not be the case. Also, when returning to school we would like to do a whole rule review and make sure the children are all okay. We know that the students will all have different experiences going through the Hurricane and we want to make sure they're all right. :) 

Everyone stay safe and we'll see you all soon!!

Character T-Shirt Day on 8/30

The kids were adorable!! They loved seeing that their classmates t-shirts had similar characters. (We noticed the class is big fans of Mickey and Minnie!! Even Ms.Bellot wore her Mickey t-shirt.haha)

They were so excited that we couldn't just take one photo... we had the students pose again. 

Enjoy the pictures!!

Drawing Practice

Last week we all practiced drawing boys on our dry erase mats. The students were super cute drawing, that we decided to walk around and take photos. 

So here are your children at their tables with their Table Mates. :)
