We were greeted by 2 officers at the bus… We met Chief Haddad… We hung out with the SWAT Truck… We had a truly memorable day!  Ask your child to tell you about it!  They will have so much to say

This is a link to a power point that reviews the sight words we are working on in school.  This would be a great, quick practice for all students at home.  If you click on the microphone it will say the word so they could do it by themselves!

This week we are reviewing our last 3 sight words.  The students are doing a nice job of reading them on cards.  This week we will work more with identifying them withing text!

My class is very motivated by the technology we are using in class!  Seesaw is a new program to me.  I send home invitations to accessing the account on Thursday.  Already 2 parents have joined!  I hope this will be a way to increase my students’ speaking skills and help them with their thought processes.  My goal is to have 2 items posted for each child each week.

Dojo is what we use to reinforce good behavior.  Each week students pick prizes based on how many points they have.  This is also an account you can access.  I sent another sheet home Thursday to those who are not signed up.  The students are very excited to know their parents can see how many points they have!

This is a screen shot of my class!  Jo is a pretend student.  I use him for an example of what not to do!   You may notice some students have less points than others.  If a student is absent or not in class because they are in another room they sometimes don’t get as many points.  I am very happy with all my students’ behavior!

Our class has been discussing wants and needs in class this month.  This afternoon we talked about the different ways students sorted different picture cards representing wants and needs.  It was a nice discussion. Students worked hard to justify why an apple is a want and a need!

Take a look at some of the different ways students sorted the picture cards.  

All this work was done independently or with a partner!  All my students are getting really good at working by themselves.  Nice job everyone!
