Hello Everyone!


  We have had a very fun week of swimming! It has been fabulous watching the students become more confident in the water. Thank you for your support in sending the students to school in their bathing suits - it made the transition to the pool very smooth.

It was great to see you all at Student-Led Conferences; your children have been working so hard this year and the progress they have made is amazing! They should be very proud of their work.

We had a magic show this week! The main focus of the magic show was friendship. 

F - Feelings. We consider peoples feelings when making decisions.
R - Real. We behave authentically with our peers.
I - Invite. We need to invite people into our lives to make friends.
E - Encourage. We help our friends be the best they can be.
N - Name. We need to learn as many names as possible.
D - Dependable. We are there for our friends in good times and bad.
S - Smile. True friends learn to smile often.

Dear Parents/Guardians, Inline Skating : Our class will be skating on  March 20, 21 and 22 . If you wish, you may send your child's helmet to school on Monday, March 19 and it can stay in our classroom for the week. At this point in time, we do not require parent volunteers as the Leadership Club from Kenneth D. Taylor will be supporting students with getting their gear on.     Request: We are going to be starting our science unit on Building Things in the next few weeks. It is a really fun unit, but it requires lots of materials. Therefore, we are requesting your help!   If you have any of the following items that are empty and clean, please send them with your child to school.   ·        Kleenex boxes ·        Cereal boxes ·        Yogurt cups ·        Shoe boxes ·        Toilet p...

Dear Parents and Guardians,   We have had a very busy week of learning so far. On Monday morning, we started our day by writing in our journals. The students were challenged to write about one event from their weekend with lots of detail. They were also asked to create more than one sentence. Mrs. Witczak and I are VERY IMPRESSED with the progress we have seen in our student's journal writing over the past month. Here are a few examples from September: Here are some examples from this week: Here are all of the sight words we have learned so far this year. At this point in time, your child should be able to quickly read and correctly spell each of the words. When working on the words at home, please ensure you practice them in a different order each day:)                             1. the                  11. he ...
