Hello! We had a really good first week after the long break, even though we had indoor recess due to the cold at the end of the week.<\/p>\n
Next week will be a busy one, and a shortened one as well. Thursday is the field trip in the morning. You won’t need to send a snack, but we will be back for lunch. We will make hot lunch choices before we depart. There will not be food or snacks available at the theater, so please don’t send money towards that end. Friday is a half-day, with dismissal at 11:40. There is no school on Monday, January 21st, for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday, and Tuesday, the 22nd, is another half-day.<\/p>\n
Spelling words for next week are: for, up, look, hop, pop, top, cop,mop, stop, bop<\/strong>. I will give the Spelling test on Friday. We are going to begin a Science segment on Polar Animals and Habitats. You will be seeing projects along these lines. On Monday, please look for a note regarding a Timeline Project we will be assigning. It is due on January 24th. This is always a very popular project, and the students look forward to sharing how they have grown over the years. I look forward to seeing this myself!<\/p>\n We will be having NWEA testing on Tuesday morning. Along with the NWEA testing, Directed Reading Assessments (DRA) will be going on this month. After this is complete, I will make reading level book changes as appropriate. I have been assessing the student’s progress regarding the alphabet and sight words, too. It’s exciting to see how much they have progressed! They are almost half-way through Kindergarten! Report cards will go out by the end of January. I’ll alert you when they are in the students’ folders.<\/p>\n As the weather remains cold, please teach them how to zip their own jacket. I, literally, don’t have time at the end of the day to zip all of their jackets, and it’s a task they should be attempting now. Thanks so much!<\/p>\n If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to address them with me.<\/p>\n Mrs. Smith<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello!
