9-15 November 2009
Farewell to Presley and Xander. Their last day was Wednesday and we wish them well in the move back to the U.S. We welcome a new student, Cody, to our room. We're glad you're with us, Cody!
Well, here's 3 cheers to the Family Project of making your ABC books. I can't wait to see what everyone has created. The students came back the first day after the assignment was given and seemed very excited. Thank you for your support. This is a very 'short' week. We'll meet in class for 2 days, on Monday and Tuesday, then have the rest of the week off. I'm looking forward to seeing you on Thursday for conferences, and the Wells family on Friday morning for theirs. They've grown a bunch and learned so much, but have so much left to accomplish.
Very quickly: along with your ABC book, please revisit the links, since I won't be changing much of them. NO SPELLING LIST THIS WEEK, it's just too short. We'll be working on our Thanksgiving presentation, and readying ourselves a little more on our 1st Reader's Theatre presentation: The Little Red Hen. This gives everyone a chance to practice fluent reader in a story-like environment, which includes using appropropriate expression, phrasing and confidence. We'll also be making our own 'costumes'! Should be fun and revealing :oD
Continue with the IXL Math, RAZ-Kids Reading, Sight Words with Samson Lists 1-7 (repeat and review all lists). Don't forget about the "little books" in the READING Bag, also.
Once again, you're welcome to bring their ABC books to school as soon as they're completed. Please send them in an appropriate bag, to protect them from the elements!
Have a wonderful week and see you soon!
Mrs. Petty
