Classroom News

 
Thumbs up to parents!  We made it through the first nine weeks of school and it was so wonderful to meet, or see again, all of you at conferences!  It is so important that we work together and communicate to help your child be the best he or she can be. 
 
As Thanksgiving and Christmas are approaching I begin to focus on all the things I have to be thankful for.  One of those things is  being able to know, encourage, and impact the lives and future of your children.  It has been a blessing to me to teach and watch the students grow, learn, and do things they didn't think they could do.  Thank you for your support at home.
 
My first grade students are beginning to do guided reading and focus on comprehension skills.  In Title we will also continue to focus on vowel sounds and learning more sight words.
 
My second grade students are continuing comprehension and finding main idea and details.  We are moving on to -ing and -ies endings with a quick review on diagraphs (ph,th) and short vowel sounds.  They are trying and working hard and I am proud of their progress.
 
Have a blessed holiday season and enjoy the moments!
