Please return the Chickadee order forms (whether you want them or not) by Monday. We get class prizes for number of responses-doesn't matter if they are yes or no! If you don't want any simply check off no. This is a wonderful magazine for learning!

Our Words of the week are:
it is in at am us up
Please practice these a little over the weekend. It is most important that they can be recognized by sight to read them. Once your child can read them please practice spelling them. This can be done through body spelling, chanting, making the words with play dough, drawing the words in sand and so many other fun ways! Can your child figure out the vowel and consonant to write each word?
Yesterday we:
- started our day with Music with Mrs. Dennill.
-had a sharing circle to share things we can do and can't do yet.
-practiced segmenting sounds in order to spell our words of the week on white boards.
-started journal writing using the sentence starters "I can..." and "I can't...yet!
-had our daily calendar time. Can your child answer the following equations ____+___=12
______+7=9 ? We will continue working on this a bit each day!
-did a number assessment to see how high each child can write their numbers.
-did a spelling assessment to find out what we already know in spelling and what we need to continue to work on.
