If you would like to send in valentines that is perfectly fine, we will share them on Tuesday :) Happy LOVE day!

A few new things!

The kids have probably told you that I have moved their desks around quite a bit! - I have :)... I like a little change every now and again! I have added  an important part to the kids "GO book." It is a sleeve with a poem of the week in it. It will always be double sided to save paper, but the focus is only one per week. This weeks poem of the week is "One Hundred." They are to read it aloud 5 times each night along with their nightly homework. This will help them a lot to build their fluency and express emotion as they read. Friday is optional recite day. They may choose to memorize the poem and sit in my lighthouse chair to recite to the class. This is their chance to really shine!

Sight words this week:

Happy MLK day to all of you!

Today I am thankful for Dr. Martin Luther King. I am thankful that I am able to teach a variety of children that come from all different backgrounds. I am thankful that at school, we are a big family! I hope you have had time to reflect on how lucky we are!
