Hi everyone! I can't believe we are approaching the end of the 1st semester!  
We are looking forward to the move to the Main Campus.  Mr. Usher will be 
sending home a memo today with some pertinent information about the move.  
Please be sure to look for it.
 
Here is a look ahead at next week...

Phonics/Language Arts:
Next week we will continue our journey through Vowel Valley.  I will 
introduce the /e/ sound to the students.  The /e/ sound is often confused 
with the /i/ sound, especially in their writing.  Since we just introduced 
the /i/ sound this week, I am anticipating that many students may struggle 
differentiating between the /i/ and /e/ sounds next week as we do our fluency 
drills and take the spelling "test" on Friday.  Please take some time next 
week to not only work on the phonetic /e/ words, but also in reviewing the 
phonetic /i/ words from this week.  The red words for next week will be "of" 
and "was".

Social Studies/Science:

We will be wrapping up our "American Symbols" unit next week through the 
symbols presentations that your child has been working on at home.  Please 
begin sending those projects in with your child next week.  We will begin 
sharing them on Tuesday.

Math:

Next week in Math we will find the sum of two (and three) dice rolls, explore 
properties of various shapes and examine whether their orientation impacts 
what we call them, work on simple subtraction problems and math facts, as 
well as number writing numbers greater than 20.

Writing:

In Writer's Workshop we will begin persuasive writing.  I will be using "The 
Pigeon Wants A Puppy", by Mo Willems as an introduction to this genre of 
writing.  The students will be encouraged to think of something they would 
like to persuade someone to do and then provide 2 reasons in their writing 
that would persuade the reader to grant their wish (i.e.  "I think we should 
have recess all day because children get exercise at recess, and exercise is 
good for your body.  Also, if we had recess all day the school would be quiet 
and Ms. Bobbie could get a lot of work done!")

Blog:

I will be posting a new blog sometime over the weekend.  One of our friends, 
Ash Midkiff, will be moving to Dubai over the holiday break, so the blog page 
will be titled "The One Thing I Will Miss About Ash Is...".  Please take some 
time between this weekend and the 18th to visit this page with your child and 
allow them to post a response.  I am sure it will be very special for Ash and 
his family.

Internet Access:

I will not have internet access at school the 16th-18th of this month.  The 
technology department is coming to disconnect the computers on the 16th in 
preparation for the move to the Main Campus.  If you need to reach me on 
those days you will need to send a note in with your child or call the 
office.  You may also try my cell phone: 404-723-5308.

That's all for now! 
Have a fantastic weekend!
