PANDA NEWS:

Happy Valentine's Day!  The students celebrated 100th day and Valentine's day last week.  We celebrated in a lot of different ways.  The students were able to built with 100 Solo cups, write a book (My Teacher Has Told Me 100 Times...), we played with valentine's foam and a whole lot more fun! 

Next week we will celebrate Read Across America.  I note went home with each days theme.  Monday will be Fox in Sox Day (wear your crazy sock)..  

 

Language Arts:  

 

We continue to work on practicing sight words and sounding out CVC .  I am also finding a lot of children starting from the bottom when writing letter and numbers.  We also continued to work on our reading strategies.  We have learned good reader use a lot of different tools when they read. 

 

Math:

 

Last week the Pandas celebrated the 100th day of school.  We  counted to 100.  We played many math games.  It was an exciting day in the Panda room.

We finished all of the assessments this month for the report cards.  The Pandas took their report cards home today.  You may notice that there is a wa on the encore grades.  This means with assistance.  Please sign and return the report card envelop.  You may keep the report card for your records

Please send IN your VALENTINES on MONDAY.  THE CHILDREN WILL PRETEND TO RUN A POST OFFICE AND MAIL THERE VALENTINES.  

IT IS THE TIME OF YEAR FOR SICKNESS.  PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOU CHILD TO SCHOOL SICK.  THE SCHOOL POLICY SAYS THAT THEY MUST BE FEVER FREE FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS BEFORE THEY RETURN TO SCHOOL.  IT IS ALWAYS GOOD TO AIR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION WHEN MAKING THE DECISION TO KEEP THEM HOME.  I HAVE BEEN STRESSING TO THE KIDS TO COUGH IN THEIR ELBOWS AND TO WASH THEIR HANDS.  HOPEFULLY, THE SICKNESS WILL DISSIPATE SOON.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
