We have had a great start to our first full week of school since the holiday break. The kids seem rested and ready to learn. Beware though, I have heard that icky flu bug is going around.
We are lucky to have a new student in our class! Her name is Akaiah. Welcome!
We started new reading groups and a new unit in our new Lead 21 reading series. It is about communities. We have talked about places and people in the community.
In math, we continue to practice all the skills we have learned up to this point. We have been practicing words problems with 2 and 3 addends. We will be starting to count by 10's and count items by 10's. Keep practicing extra math, fluency and speed are tested on our 8 minute AIMS math test. I see some of the kids are making a lot of progress. Keep up the great work!
Remember:
*Homework (review) comes home on Wednesday-bring back anytime before next Wednesday
*Spelling test on Friday-study!
*Book bags returned when book has been read-preferably at least 3 books a week
*Xtra Math- try to do everyday
*Library on Friday- We had a lot of kids forget their books-Please return them!
Have a great rest of the week!

Happy New Year! Hope you all have a great 2014!
It is going to be nice having a two day week. We will be working on rules and procedures,just trying to get back into the routine. Then we will be back at full speed for a full week. I will be starting assessments in reading and math this week. Make sure those little darlings get their sleep and are at school on time. It is very hard on your child when they are not here on time. I have already given instructions and started reading groups by 8:35.
Do you have left over scraps of wrapping paper? If they can be cut into 6"x 6" or 8"x 8" squares, I would love to have them. I will do the cutting, just send the scraps. I am also looking for used Christmas cards. We will be using the front of them for a labeling project. Thanks!
We will be practicing our high-frequency words for spelling this week. Next week we will start spelling tests again.
I hope you all had a restful break and some good times with your child.
Wishing you well,
Mrs. Martin
