If you have any empty bathroom tissue rolls I’d like to use them for a project for our Camp Read-A-Lot.

Thanks,
Mrs. Smith

Has anyone used the Spell City link yet? Do you find it helpful?

As advertised, we had some members of DHS’s Football Team visit our school this morning and read to our students.  Here are some of the readers.  Thanks readers!  Today a reader-tomorrow a Leader!

I think Spring is trying to show it’s face! Yeah! I hope we’ll be able to have some recess this week. I’d still advise having your student wear boots to school…lots of water from the snow and the ground is still frozen.

Here is a great Spelling website for your Kindergartener to use to practice their weekly spelling words.

Oops…I had several students who came in without their homework today.  (B  b   L  l  words)  Please remind them to complete their assignment tonight and return it tomorrow.  Remember to study for Friday’s Spelling Test.  I will give them a Trial Test today.

My February Students of the Month are Sophia Mosallam and Medina Ferris.  Congratulations!

Here’s the Muffin Mix we used for our Muffins.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

As the saying goes, “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb” and March is doing just that!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

READING-Week 2 of Unit 7   SEASONS

WRITING-We’ll be writing Questions and Answers.  After writing,  students are taught to reread the sentences and ask themselves, “Does that make sense?”  If not, revise it.  Then edit it for spelling and punctuation.

SPELLING-Sorry about missing last week’s test!  Augh…just cramming in so many extras on Friday lead me to forgetting all about the Spelling test.  We made corn muffins with Mr. Marks ( a dear friend of mine who just retired from teaching last June.  He so enjoys kids so he pops in every now and then.  I never really know when he’s coming but we always have a great time together.)  We did some Math and Science along with the baking.  We had 4 choices of condiments to enjoy with our muffins.  We predicted which topping would be the favorite–butter, honey, maple syrup, or milk.  After eating the muffins, we made a graph of our favorite.  Guess which one was the favorite?  Ask your Kindergartener 🙂

I digressed-sorry.  Spelling words for this week are from the an family.  fan   man   pan   tan
