A GRAND PREFORMANCE
What an outstanding job the children did with their music program! Thank you one and all for being there for them, for helping them learn their poems, and also for creating the marvelous costumes. They were adorable! I hope to post the picture on the web site soon.
A PEEK AT OUR WEEK
I am so impressed with the bug book the children are making! I think they are doing an excellent job with the stories they are writing. Looking back to the beginning of the school year most of the children’s writing skills consisted of some letters, some scribbles, and perhaps a few words. Now I see them confidently sounding out words to write sentences. I am proud of each author.
NWEA TIME
This week and next the children will be going to the computer lab to begin the NWEA testing. This fun computer activity will give us data in the areas of reading and math. I do not call this a test as I have no desire to cause distress for the children. I just encourage children to do their best. Please help your child to do his/her best by getting them to bed early so they are well rested.
MEMORY BOOK
Mrs. Christian and I are working together to publish a memory book for our class. It will have some group pictures of the class, individual pictures of each child doing something in our classroom, and an “All About Me” page. We can issue books in color for a cost or print them in a black and white copy at no charge. The black and white book quality would be similar to other class books that we have copied and sent home. Being watching for more information to follow concerning this publication!
