Tuesday February 8, 2011

Reminder: Tomorrow is an early out! Please remember to send the white half sheet to school with your child tomorrow which lets me know what your child is doing for lunch and how they are going home. Thanks! Pick-up will be an hour later, at 12:35.

Also, please fill out and send the bottom of the purple conference sheet back to school. Your child receives a bonus ticket when they return it!

We worked on a lesson from our Being a Writer curriculum. Over the past several weeks, the lessons have focused on getting ideas to write about. Today, Mrs. Abbey read a book called Lunch, making all the students hungry! They were each given a paper placemat where they drew and labeled their four favorite foods on the plate. Tomorrow we are going to share our pictures, then attempt to write poems about our favorite foods!

In guided reading groups, Mrs. Abbey introduced a cool iPod which can record the students voices when they read! The children loved seeing how this worked and are very excited to try it out over the next several weeks! Definitely a motivator to get them to practice their reading!
