Stay Calm and Shine On

When one of my sweet girls showed up with this shirt I knew it was going to be a fantastic day!!!  When another sweet girl showed up with beautiful yellow flowers for me I knew it was going to be the best day ever!!!

We had so much fun with Mrs. McGlamery (our incredible school counselor) today.  The kids laughed and laughed as she had them act out what to do to solve their own problems.  

I just love the laughter in the left above... 

In science we are learning all about sound.  We shared all the different sounds they hear.  

The kids will be making their own instruments next week, so please keep on sending anything they can use to make music!

In math you will notice the kids bringing home a homework sheet from the book.  Please have them do around 3-4 problems a night and send it back the next day.  We go over them together.  If they want do most or all of the problems please encourage them to but they are responsible for 3 or 4 problems.

Please continue studying the unit spelling words, spelling patterns and high frequency words that I send home weekly.  Please make sure they are reading at least 20 mins a night and that you are signing and initialing their communication log.  

Last but not least the kids are having a blast being an author and illustrator and sharing their own books.  They are so proud!  They do this as a challenge in our class.  It is their favorite challenge once they finish their work.  

Have a wonderful weekend!  I look forward to seeing you on October 12th.  I will send home reminders at the beginning of the week.  

Thank you for sharing your child with me.  I feel so blessed to be their teacher. 💓
