Your children have done an extraordinary job in their 8 days of school. They are creative and very kind to one another. I am thrilled to see them taking risks with making new friends and trying new things.
We are talking more about Growth Mindset and taking on challenges. They learned about the word "determination" this week. We read books by Denise Fleming this week. The children then responded through words and pictures about key text details. We are learning our high frequency words and blending decodable short vowel words. We began reading groups too. This Wednesday, be on the look out for their first "Take Home" Book. This will be one of their weekly "Homework" assignments. It's a time to celebrate what they are reading! More details will come home with their first book on Wednesday. We have released many Monarch butterflies, we have planted Sunflowers, and we have learned about mixtures and how they can bring about change. We also had a lesson on the voting process. We brainstormed names for our class, narrowed down the options through a "Primary Election" and then had the final election. We are now known as the BEST BOBCATS. I have enjoyed talking with each family through a "Phone Call from the Teacher". If you have not yet signed up, there are still a few slots open for tomorrow. If these times don't work for you, please contact me directly to set up a time that will.

This should be about 5-10 minutes, and it's an opportunity to check in with questions you might have and to share how your child is navigating the school day. Please sign up for a time, and then reply via email with the BEST number to reach you at that time. Let me know if these times do not work, and we can work to figure out a time that will. School pictures will be on Tuesday. This week we will read books by Eric Litwin. We will also be learning about Constitution Day. It's going to be a great week! Comments are closed.
