ABCs & 123s

Parents,

I just want to take a minute to commend you on your excellent work with your children.  They are respectful and responsible.  That doesn't happen by accident.  All of your efforts are worthy and aren't going unnoticed!  Keep up the good work - I know it can be difficult to maintain day to day, but you are doing great work!  Thank you for sharing your kids with me this year - it brings me such joy to work with them every day.  They are delightful children!

In her double digits era!!😂😂😂

Doing our best to edit our partner's story

This coming week is a normal week of school with our normal routines (math and reading minutes, word work test, library books on Friday, etc.), but the following week is the week of Thanksgiving.  We will only have school on Monday and Tuesday that week.  That means we will NOT have reading/math homework or a word work test that week.  In fact, we are planning some special things on Tuesday - stay tuned!

MATH -  The students worked HARD on their math test this week - I'm so proud of them!  Next week, we are beginning a unit on long division!  This is BIG work, but in years past I've found that kids are always so proud of themselves once they figure it out.  This will be exciting to watch!

CHRISTMAS PARTY - Our class Christmas party is currently scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 18 from 12:15-2:00ish.  If you're able to help out with the planning and execution of this fun event for the kids, please shoot me an email.  I'll help connect all of you who are willing so you can work out the details.  Thanks in advance!
