September 26 - September 30

Hey Parents!
I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
     THANK YOU for all of your hard work in the cookie dough sale!  You sold a little over $1000 total!  That means our class will get $100 in our account to use for materials.  Thank you so much for your support!
     This Wednesday will be our GOTCHA party!  The kids have been working hard to get those GOTCHAs.  Sometimes our class is given a GOTCHA as a whole.  When that happens, I hang up one GOTCHA and mark one down for everybody.  For you that means you may not see every GOTCHA your child is getting.  It may seem like at home they only have one or two, but they might actually have four!  As of right now, we've gotten two GOTCHAs for our whole class, so you can add that to however many your child has gotten! :-)
     On October 6th, our whole school will be participating in Read for the Record!  This is a country wide initiative to get kids reading.  Our book will be Llama Llama Red Pajama.  In the spirit of that book, kids AND teachers get to wear pajamas! 
     On October 12th, we will be having our Pumpkin Patch!  Watch for a letter coming home on Monday!
     Our pod blog reached our goal of 20 followers!  We actually made it to 37!  You can view our pod blog to see the pictures.
Have a great week!

GOTCHA Party

On September 14 we had our first GOTCHA party!  We had a dance party with Mr. Jackson and Ms. Duncan.  We had a great time!

Enjoy the pictures!

September 19 - September 23

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
This week we will be focusing on letter Tt.  You will be getting a paper to hang on your refrigerator at home so you can practice with your child. We will still be working on the words to and a, so keep practicing those!  Thank you for supporting your child at home!
The kids had their first GOTCHA party last week, and wouldn't you know, my camera died :-(  But Mr. Hodum took a ton of pictures and I will be posting those soon!  They need 5 GOTCHAs for the next party. 
Cookie dough orders and money are due on Wednesday.  Please send those in with your child's folder on Wednesday.  Thanks for supporting our classroom!
Shaved Ice was moved to Tuesday! 
*Ms. Knott's classroom will be the "Good Morning Room" this week!*
I hope you all have a great week.  Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
I enjoyed seeing all of you again at Parent Report Night.  Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. 
This week we will begin focusing on one letter a week.  This week is Letter Mm.  You will be getting a paper to hang on your refrigerator at home so you can practice with your child. A lot of you mentioned following the Family Times paper at home.  Thank you for supporting your child at home!
I hope you have been seeing all of the GOTCHAs your child has been getting.  They have been working very hard to earn them.  They need 3 GOTCHAs for the party of Wednesday
Our Scholastic Book Orders are due this Wednesday, September 14.
We will be doing a special math activity this week for the letter Mm.  Please send in individually wrapped M&Ms by Thursday (NO PEANUT or Peanut Butter!).  Thank you!
Please consider selling cookie dough for our fundraiser!  We get 10% of the money raised right back to our own classroom!

September 5 - September 9

I hope everyone is having a restful Labor Day weekend!
This will be a short week for the kids.  Tomorrow is Parent Report Day and that is a No School day for the kids.  It's just me and you! :-)  I will see you tomorrow!
The rest of this week we will be finishing up reviewing our letters, we will continue with the sight words the and little, and we will continue exploring manipulatives during math time.
I hope you have been seeing all of the GOTCHAs your child has been getting.  They have been working very hard to earn them.  They need 3 GOTCHAs for the party next week!
Last week you received an order form for Scholastic Book Club.  This is a GREAT way our classroom gets free stuff! When you buy a book, our classroom gets points.  Scholastic sends me a catalog full of things I can get with the points we have.  Last year, I was able to get our entire listening center (headphones and CD player) with the points we had earned from books.  You will get one of these order forms every month!
I hope you all have a great week.  Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions!
