WE'RE WACKY & WE KNOW IT!

Dear Families,

I hope you all had a "Wacky Weekend!!!"  The children and I thoroughly enjoyed celebrating school SPIRIT on Friday!  Thank you to all those students who participated in this school wide event and to those families who took valuable time in helping their child assemble wacky tacky attire!    Photo credit goes to Christopher's Mommy!  Thank you Stephanie for all your pictures you've sent along to me.  You've captured many memorable moments of these amazing group of students!!!

CELEBRATING WACKY TACKY DAY!!!

Word Study:  one, two, three, four, five
  • This week's 'Key Words' are focused on 'Number Words.'  Most children can successfully read all these words, however, the next step is to spell them correctly in their writing.
  • Please have your child complete their word study pages and then take 5-10 minutes practicing spelling these 'key words' independently.
Math:  Learning Goal - Telling Time
  • Please take a moment to read over the 'The Math Note' I've sent home with your child, so you're both aware of the upcoming learnings and are familiar with the expectations of this area of mathematics.  Telling time is a vital life skill for your child to learn, having your support at home is crucial as it will certainly benefit their learning.
  • In my lessons, I will be using our school's SmartBoard.  The SmartBoard is an interactive and engaging piece of technology that I know your child will have a keen interest in using and learning from. 
Science:  Learning Goal - The Human Body


  • Your child will be learning about some of the external and internal organs in the human body(e.g., heart, lungs, intestines, brain, stomach). 
  • In my lessons, I will be using our school's Document Camera as a tool to do interactive read alouds using non-fiction text.
Below is a picture of Jasmine and Naina using the school Document Camera to assemble external and internal body parts to a foam puzzle.  Well done, SCIENTISTS!!!
