Below is the master list of our spelling words this week. Remember, your child selected 15 just right words for them.

The words this week are past tense verbs that end with -ed. The -ed makes different sounds at the end of the words.

Below are the ways your child will be graded on his or her musical instrument. This project and presentation is taking the place of a sound unit test.

Hello everyone!

Happy Winter Break and Happy 2017!

I will need at least 5 volunteers to help with Science centers. We will be doing them on Tuesday, Jan. 10 and Wednesday, Jan. 11 at 9:00-10:00. 

So far two parents have confirmed helping. Leave me a comment if you can help!

Hi Families,

On Friday, I sent home a survey whether your child wanted the technology packet or paper packet. Per your response, I sent home the packet (or paper) on Wednesday, December 21. Please check to make sure you got it.

If you chose technology, all of the assignments are through Front Row and MyOn.

If you chose the paper packet, your child must complete the reading log AND every page in that packet. The reading log can be done on MyOn or any book.

If you have any questions, please email me or send a message through Remind.

Have a very happy break and see you in 2017!

Hello families,

If you get bored over break, I’ve included some links to our favorite skip counting songs. While we do practice these in schools, it is important for your students to be able to skip count to help with multiplication fluency. Click the links and enjoy!
