Quick month!

I can't believe that tomorrow will be the last Monday in January 2015!  Wow, time really does fly!

Thanks for your continued support of me and your child.  We are well stocked for the time being, on tissues, paper towels, and note cards.  When we need something more, I'll put out a cry of help again.  Please keep in mind that I'm out of town on church business this up coming Friday and NEXT Monday.

Next week we will be sharing our Robot projects. Please be sure to send in the Robot on the day of your child's presentation.  I know the kids are excited about them.  Listed here is the date of your child's turn:

Tuesday, February 3rd:

Unless I know otherwise, we'll draw names on the day of to see who gets to go first, second, etc...  I look forward to seeing how creative you and the kids get with the robots!

Supplies Needed!

Hi parents, you often ask if we need anything for the classroom. Well, I now can say "Yes, we do!"

Boxes of Kleenex
Paper Towels
Notecards (lots of them ;) )

If you can pick some of these up and send them in, the kids and I would really appreciate it!

Thanks!

Spelling for January and robot share dates

Spelling-  I'm going to move this week's spelling assessment to Tuesday the 20th! I will be out all day this Friday. Also, since the words are practiced for longer, I will change the due date for spellingcity.com till Tuesday and add 2 games as well! Next week's words will show on spellingcity Tuesday the 20th and the assessment day will be Thursday the 29th. I will be out that Friday (30th) and Monday (2nd) as well for a personal reason. Mrs Lovelace has agreed to sub those 2 days.

Needs for the classroom

I spent some time at school yesterday and came to the realization that we are in need of Kleenex! We have 3 small boxes left from our original stash! I purchased a pack of boxes at Walgreens, but they'll be sneezed up quickly, based on previous experience with this group ;). We're good at least until next week. Next time you are at the store, please think of us and help us restock our tissues. 

I hope the kids have gotten rid of their colds and coughs over the break. It's really hard to learn if thinking hurts and you feel yucky. 

I made a few changes to the room. New look, new energy! I hope the kids are raring to go, I am!
Computers re-arranged. 

 Table 3 and class library moved! 


Oh yeah! One of the moms and girls left their sweaters at the Winter Party! Let me know if you are missing a grey Ann Taylor  sweater. Which girl did not bring her blue sweat shirt (that I made) home?

Spelling homework

Couldn't get into my class today but I have the first 4 weeks of spelling ready and already typed into www.spellingcity.com! I love this site! 
Spelling homework is switching to only online for this next semester. We'll still do spelling work in centers but I'm taking a break from WTW spelling homework for a while. We will be focusing on compound words, homophones, prefixes and suffixes. Ha! I even put in bonus points for Class DoJo! I hope the kids start using this site!
