Monday Memo
January 4, 2016
Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a very
relaxing Christmas break! I want to thank our awesome room parents for the
terrific Christmas party they put on for us:
Amy Bates, Amber Hill, and Christine Johnson. I truly appreciate their
time and effort in putting a party together for us!! That week we also got to
play Bingo at the Care Center with our friends. As always, that was a great
deal of fun!! I encourage the kids to stop over and visit their new friends if
they have a chance! They love their company!!They are so very good to us!! Just
a reminder that this week we dismiss at 1:00 on Wednesday for our inservice
time. We enjoyed our movies on Friday, as well as the games and cocoa that we
had during our specials time. It was a fun day!!
Here we go, back into it.
We are starting a review over our “Amazing Stories” theme. We will be reading
two short excerpts. Each of the excerpts come from fun “amazing” stories. We
will be reviewing our grammar and spelling skills as well as reviewing the
skills we learned during our reading time. Our spelling list is attached to
this memo.
We are working on our
second module in Math. This module has us working on conversions using the
metric system. We also do a daily review and a multiplication sheet each day.
Keep working on those important facts each night.
Our social studies this
week is the next chapter over the Southeast Region. Hopefully, we will be able
to test over this chapter by the end of next week.Just a reminder that on
Mondays, the students will be bringing home DOGS (Daily Oral Geography) that
will be due on Friday. They can use any resource to answer the few geography
questions. Those that hand it in on time, have their names on it, and get it
perfect, will be in a drawing for a prize each Friday. Thanks for looking for that
and helping with that!
For Math, we are now
officially beginning our multiplication unit. The students really need to have
those facts memorized, so please encourage them to work on them at home. Most
are there, but I need all of them there! It will be so much easier for them if
they have that done!! We finished our second module. It had a lot of problem
solving of up to 3 step problems. It was tough for them. Mostly, once they took
the time to read it and think about it, they found success!
As always, please feel
free to call me with any questions/concerns!
Have a great week!
