WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 21st...


Sorry I have not updated yet this week!  I was out on Monday with my First grader who had Strep throat and today my 3 year old came down with it at pre-school.  Luckily, I have my mom to help me with my girls. She will be helping me tomorrow and Friday so I don't miss another day of work.  

IT'S COLLEGE WEEK!!!  I went to Texas Woman's University! We have been talking about college and careers all week!

Reading binders came home last Thursday.  I hope you are enjoying them with your child.  Please make sure you read every night for 10 to 15 minutes.  I have added new books this week.  And we are starting to meet in our Guided Reading groups.  If the binder is lost or damaged, I will have to ask that you contact me to replace it.  I explained to the kids that they only get one and then the next one will be there parents' responsibility to buy.  They are VERY excited about their binders. 

Please don't forget to send your 5 white Hanes t-shirts if you haven't already.  I appreciate all that you do from home. You are a great support to our class!!!

Writing: Sharing ideas about our writing.
Spelling: Words: are, in, like
Reading: Working on strategies and Story Elements (Setting, Characters, Problem, Solution, etc).
