Hi Parents!

Here is what we did today!

We learned all about the math workstations! Mrs. Hotchkiss taught us new math games. (Blair and Lexie T.)

We went to P.E. We did the Chicken Dance. We did the ChaCha Slide. We did the Hokey Pokey Dance. (Livi, Aidin, Lexie T. and Kate)

Mrs. Zapata came! She taught us about fruit. She read a book that didn’t have pictures called Blueberry Hallow. We tried pineapple. (Adeline, Anna, and Kamri)

We got a coloring page from Mrs. Zapata that had a rainbow of fruits. (Tristan)

We matched the color of the fruit to the color of the rainbow. (Kamri)

We got new jobs. (Crimson)

In Fundations our new letters were y and x. (Cordae and Brock)

We did writing. We did Monday News. (Emily)

We read a Piggie and Elephant book by Mo Willems. It was called There is a Bird on Your Head. (Pritish, Adeline, and Crimson)

Some of us got new toothbrushes. (Cordae)

Announcements
Thank you so much for attending Parent-Teacher Conferences last week.  I really enjoyed talking with you all about the progress your children have made in reading, writing, word study, and math this school year.  It was also helpful to touch base about classroom behaviors and what expectations we are working on in our classroom. Please let me know if you need any additional resources to use at home. Also, please contact me if you ever have questions or concerns about your child’s learning progress or behavior at school. Thank you for your continued support! I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful group of students and families!
