2/4 – 2/8
Wow! ANOTHER short weekly update!! With this week’s weather only bringing us together for 1- 1/2 days of school our time together was packed with birthday celebrations, 100th-day celebrations and getting reacquainted with one another. However brief as it was, I was so happy to see all of the sweet Kinders this week. We will continue to rebuild our routines, structure, and normalcy as our days of back to school build.
Popcorn Words: with, big. Our popcorn words will continue to pop into our classroom as we return to our normal classroom schedule. We are off a bit according to our February calendar with these. Our January flashcards will be sent home on Monday. Please continue to revisit our popcorn words with your child. Words that they can read in a snap will help them build their reading independence. If you are in need of flashcards please email me at jstutz1@hpsealges.net and I can send home more with your child.
Mystery Reader: Luckily we were able to get our Mystery Reader visit from Mrs. Hare in this week with our unpredictable weather! Bryson was SO EXCITED to see his Mom walk through our door on Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Hare read us one of Bryson’s favorite stories, Tawny Scrawny Lion by Kathryn Jackson. A great story about a rabbit family that teaches a lion to eat carrot stew so that he won’t eat them! Thanks for visiting with us, Mrs. Hare.
100th Day Celebration: While our school days have not reached 100 days yet we decided to celebrate our 100 collections anyway. Thank you so much for helping your child with their 100 collections!! We LOVED seeing all of our classmates collections. The Kindergartners enjoyed several 100-day activities. Making a 100 days smarter crown, writing 100 by 10’s, making 100 in our Math corner, reading for 100 seconds, making a 100 piece snack mix.
