Next Week

Sat, 24 Sep 2011 12:45:39 GMT

Hello Room 7 Families, next week we will be starting word study. On Monday your student will bring home a list of 5 word wall words for the week that we will be practicing on in class. The words for nex week are: and, am, that, can, do. Along with the list that your student brings home they will begin meeting me with their group this week. I will meet with a group daily and when we do so they will be bringing home the sort that they will be working on for the week.

Our students were given a book contract on Thursday. Once this contract has been received your student will begin bringing "just right" books home to read Monday-Thursday. It is their responsibility to bring the book bag to class daily and exchange the books.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

What I did last summer

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 00:36:33 GMT

This summer I had the privilege of spending a week in Santa Barbara for professional development in one of our math curriculums that we use, “Contexts for Learning.” I spent a lot of time in my new place enjoying the peace and relaxation. I took a few trips to the beach and enjoyed the beautiful California weather. I also had the joy of spending a week with my nephew Aydan and doing the fun things three year olds like to do.
