Just wanted to tell you all that it was a wonderful, short week.
I am looking forward to moving ahead next week with planned activities.
Enjoy the beautiful weekend!
I have seen major progress this week with so many students. I cannot wait to share achievements with you!
And a quote for the weekend:

Welcome back! After the extra-long break, I am ready to get back into a routine. I hope you all were able to enjoy the snow...what there was of it.
Some things that we have discussed in class that you may want to review with your child at home:
New President - Barack Obama
Facts - 44th President, Historical Event - he is the first African American President, married to Michelle, and has 2 daughters.
New Vice President - Joe Biden
Also we have discussed the weather and the seasons. Students should be able to identify and use a thermometer as well as comprehend the use of a thermometer. They should also be able to tell what the weather feels like according to the temperature. For example if a thermometer says it is 45 degrees, the student should be able to tell that it is cold outside and also what should be worn in this weather. Please continue to work with your child at home on these skills.
Our class was scheduled to attend special olympics tomorrow (Thursday). However, due to the breaks and the extra snow day as well as the fact that so many students are not able to participate because they do not have medicals, we will not be attending. The next Special Olympics event will be held at SC School for the Deaf and Blind this spring.
Spelling words will resume next week.

What a great week it has been! It sure did fly by.
With the weather constantly changing and colds/viruses going around please be sure you are taking extra precautions with your child to ensure his/her health. Some things to do: remind him her to wash hands often, eat oranges, drink orange juice, drink water, eat foods that are healthy, take vitamins.
I want to clarify something. In my last blog I spoke of studying mealworms. However, I did not take into account that the next two weeks are short weeks. I will wait until the week of January 26th to begin that unit.
For the next two weeks, we will study the weather, seasons, and temperature. To help your child at home and extend our lessons, I will post ideas throughout the unit to help you at home.
I hope you all have a great weekend. Thank you for all of your support, questions, and suggestions. I have the best students and parents anyone could ask for!

Welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful and restful holiday.
We have completed our unit on the senses. Our next unit - studying meal worms and growth and change will begin next week.
As we get back into a routine, I have assigned new spelling words.
Group 2:
piece, read, beach, team, three, me, be, week, green, sleep
Group 3:
hand, map, hat, sad, fast
Students who have spelling words should have an envelope in which their words have been placed. These words should be practiced reviewed (reading and spelling) every night at home with an adult.
