Our year together is halfway done! I have seen so much growth in the children, and I can't wait to see them grow more as writers and readers . . . and little mathematicians and scientists this year!
Our routine will stay the same this semester, but I am making some small changes. I want them to bring back the book bags to class every day, rather than just bringing them back on Friday. Many students need more time with their book bag books, and I want to give them some extra time during the school day. I definitely want them to continue to read to an adult at home; they will just have additional time with their books at school. This week I am doing individual reading assessments, so the same books are going to be in their bags for review.
We are continuing to do istation reading several times a week, and istation math once a week. We are also using extramath.org for learning our addition and subtraction facts. Did any kiddos get a new tablet for Christmas and want app ideas? See me, I have plenty of great suggestions :-)
Thank you for all the winter party donations and for our volunteers. Thank you for all the sweet Christmas gifts you gave me. I am so grateful to have your child in my class. Let's have a great 2016!
