Well, I must say, we've had better days! The students had a rough time working and staying on task throughout the morning. Mr. Spellman also commented that they had a very difficult time listening and doing what they were supposed to be doing in art today. Hmm...
We continued our writing lesson from Tuesday. The students chose one of their favorite foods and we practiced writing a poem about it. It was a first attempt at poetry for many of the students, so we had some frustrations but worked through them. Over the next couple of weeks, we are going to work on "publishing" this poem and hanging them in the hallway for all to see...by re-reading the poems, making changes or additions, working on letter formation and spacing, adding a picture of our food, etc. It will be a fun learning process for the students to go through, and they will feel very proud of their work by the end!
Thank you to those families who sent in their decorated Valentine's boxes! Tomorrow we "mail" the Valentine's to our friends, so please send your child's box and Valentine cards to school tomorrow. Thanks!
I have been assessing sight word recognition this week, and I must say that I am impressed by the amount of sight words the children know! Good job! Please let me know if you have misplaced your sight word flashcards that were sent home at the beginning of the year and I will send home a new set for you to practice with your child, so that they are successful in mastering all kindergarten sight words by the end of the school year.
In your child's folder, a green job questionnaire is coming home today. I talked with the students about this, and they will be interviewing their parents about the jobs they do (at work or at home). Please let your child attempt to read as much of the question as they can, with you helping with the words that are more difficult for your child to read. You may do the writing if your child does not feel comfortable writing the answers. We will be sharing the answers to the questionnaire next week, so please send the completed sheet back by Tuesday Feb. 15. Thanks for your help with this "homework" assignment!
Just a reminder from Horizon...if you would like to order a yearbook, please send your order form and money to school. Tomorrow is the final day to place an order. Thanks!
