Update for February 11

Hello! This week we learned about Q and the color words orange and brown. We now know all of our color words! We had our Q & U wedding on Wednesday, and it was SO much fun! Pictures to come shortly... Yesterday we played review games most of the day, and I was so glad to see that most of the kids knew their popcorn words VERY well. Keep working on them! I am also happy to report that almost everyone can count to 100 -- 15 out of 18 in the AM class, and 17 out of 19 in the PM class. Way to go!!

Monday will be our Valentine's Day party. You may send in valentines with your child, as long as you send enough for every kid in the class. A class list went home a few weeks ago. Also, don't forget to have your child wear red, pink, or both on Monday! We will be making a graph of the colors of clothes.

We will also be doing assessments next week. I completed running records today, and we will be doing the rest of the testing Tuesday-Thursday. The end of the trimester is on Thursday, so don't forget--no school on Friday! Report cards and data folders will be sent home the following Friday, February 25.

I received the students' MAP test results and DIBELS results this week, and I have been using those as well as the running records to put together some reading groups. This will ensure that every student is working at his/her level. I intend to start those the week after next, as we start our third trimester.

Just a reminder that book orders will be due on Thursday. The class code is GMXHN to order online and earn free books for our class!

Don't forget, school WILL be in session on President's Day, which is Monday, February 21, due to the days we missed last week.

**We are running low on glue sticks! Any that are sent in would be GREATLY appreciated!**

Thanks and have a great weekend!
