Tuesday, February 17th is Day 100. We are excited to see all of the projects that come in. We are also excited for the special activities in the gym. Parents are invited to come and watch us - the event will begin after lunch, probably around 12:55 or so. Projects will be displayed in the Great Hall after the activities in the gym are completed.
Homework will come home as usual on Monday. Tricky and sight words for the week are like, have, and and. The letter of the week is Gg.
Please continue to send the tricky and sight word bags back to school to get the new words put in. As well, I need to get the Word Box bags back as soon as they have been read - new ones will be sent home through the week. When one is returned one more will be sent home. I have lots, and the practice is important.

Ahhhhhhhh, Winter !!?!!!!
Well, we either have too much ice or it's too cold to go on the playground. At least we're at school.....
This week's tricky words are: from, by, and one. Along with practicing all of our tricky and sight words, we are focusing on the letter F. Help your child identify things that begin with F through this week, please.
Wednesday afternoon will find us celebrating Valentines Day. If you would like to supply a treat for our homeroom. please let me know.
As it stands at present, Day 100 will be on Wednesday next, the 18th of February. I hope all Day 100 projects are well underway and ready to be brought to school by next Monday, the 16th.
The Professional Development day we were to have this Friday, February 13th, has been postponed due to snow days. So there will be school as usual on that day.
Have a great week!

Happy day after Ground Hog Day!
Well, in my book the groundhog didn't see his shadow, so we should be seeing the end of winter - well, sometime before June 1st! How's that for a prediction?
This week we are emphasizing Ee words. As well, our tricky and sight word bags came home with so, my, and love for your child to add to his/her memory. Please keep reviewing the whole bag - repetition is the key to remembering these words.
Yesterday a couple of letters came home. The Day 100 letter, stating that we are now looking at Tuesday,February 17th as our day for celebrating the number 100. The day will be moved ahead if there are any snow days between now and then. Have fun making your Day 100 projects. It always amazes me - the imagination of the children and the variety of displays of the amount that 100 is.
The other letter was about our Public Speaking program. Each child is required to give a "talk" at the amount of time for their grade level, at least in the classroom. Please help your child with this requirement of the Language Arts curriculum. Have fun with it - it helps if the student talks about a familiar subject that they are interested in. Once again, imagination is the key.
Have a great week!

more cold weather!
Another week of cold weather - and yet another reminder to dress your children WARMLY!
Sight words this week are yes, no, see, and go. Our letter of the week is "D" - you can help at home by finding things that start with the letter D around your house.
A list of names will come home soon for Valentines Day, which will be observed on Feb 11th. We will be observing Day 100 on Monday, Feb 16th (unless there is a snow day between now and then) - information will be sent home soon on our plan for that day.

Snow day once more.....
Well, Monday is here and no school..... so here's what we're doing for the rest of the week:
This week we are doing activities related to the letter C. Tricky and sight words for the week are: there, they, and can. Homework will be coming home on Tuesday, and should be returned to me on Thursday. Sorry for the short time to do it this week, but I can't predict snow days..
Remember once again to dress warmly - last week was a doozie! Hopefully the temperatures will moderate and we'll have warmer days.

winter abounds!
Well, we lost two days to the weather last week, let's hope this week is a full one.
This week we are talking about things that begin with the letter B. Our tricky words are said, here, and it. If your child brings home the alphabet bucket, please help him/her to find a few things that begin with B. The Sounds duotangs stay home noe - please remember to go over the sounds with your child once or twice a week. The students will be bringing home books to read soon, and every chance you have to help them practice the sounds of the letters they've learned will help them to become stronger and more confident readers.

Happy New Year!
Welcome back - here's to a great 2009 part to the 08/09 school year!
There are two notes coming home on Monday of this week. One is about the Math unit we will be covering and the other is about Language Arts. Please read each one carefully - if you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
As well, please remember to send appropriate clothing for recess times outside. The playground seems to always have the wind, no matter what direction, and it is a cold one!
I hope you all had a great break and are ready to "get back at it"!
