Bryer

Bryer read Alexander, Who's Not (Do You Hear Me? I Mean It!) Not Going to Move. These are some of our favorite books and the kids really enjoyed listening to him. I could tell that he practiced a lot because he was very fluent and read with super expression. Great job Bryer!

Dylan

Dylan was our mystery reader last week. He did a fantastic job!! He read the book There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bat. He read with great expression and the kids really enjoyed his reading. Good job Dylan!!

SNACKS

Our snacks have run low and we need some again. If you wouldn't mind, please send a box of crackers or something healthy to school with child. Thanks!! Your child's tummies thank you also:)

Subtraction Incentive

Last week I sent home flashcards to start our subtraction incentive. I do not care what order your child practices the facts as long as they are practicing at home!! For each "family" they test correctly students will earn an ingredient for party mix. Once again, please practice at least 3 nights with your child before s/he comes to school to test with me. I realize the easier facts won't take as much practice! This should not take much time out of your busy schedules. Please spend a few minutes each night with your child practicing these facts.

***I will not have the sub test facts next week. I will be back on Friday so I will try my best to test on that day!

Emma

Emma was our mystery reader a couple of weeks ago...sorry Emma!!! She did a fabulous job reading and used super expression. The students and I really enjoyed her story. Thanks Emma!

Valentine's Day

We managed to squeeze in a short Valentine's Day party before our early out. The kids opened their valentines and managed to eat a lot of candy!!!

Mega Party

Students had a LOT of fun at the mega party!! I had a lot of fun watching them:) I was able to go on the limo ride again this year and to Pizza Hut for lunch. It's amazing how much pizza some kids can eat! Thank goodness we have a limit here at school on how much they can eat or else some would go crazy!! Then, in the afternoon was our mega party. Students were able to play on all the different bouncy things and have a good time with their friends. There were some dance contests and 2A had a lot of participants in those as well. Enjoy the pictures of your children!

100s Day

We FINALLY had our 100th day of school!!! It was pushed back so much with snow days that we really didn't do a lot of celebrating. We tried to keep the day as "normal" as possible since we've already missed so many days.

However, I can't have a hundreds day without at least acknowledging it so I gave each set of partners 100 marshmallows and 100 toothpicks. They had to use teamwork and create something together. Here are their creations.

HELP!

As you may know, we have our Mega Party and limo rides this Friday. I need a parent to volunteer to help me watch all the kids. All classrooms are asked to find a parent volunteer so we can be mobile and walk around the gym to watch all our students.

Our party is is from 12:30-1:50 Friday afternoon. If you are able to help please let me know!!
Thanks for your help!
