Newsletter for week of August 31- September 3, 2015

Star Student: Lochlyn- please fill out the all about me paper in his binder and supply snack for 8 kids for 4 days.
Letter of the week: Vv
Number of the week: 2
Shape of the week: Square
Chapel topic: On day two God created the sky and sea.

I have begun testing of the kids and their abilities and struggles.  I am going to be sending homework home for kids in the areas that they have struggles.  If they are not struggling in anything you may still see homework coming home to help push them a little bit more.

Reminder: If you child's lunch requires utensils please make sure to pack them in their lunch boxes. I am going through lots of spoons, forks, and napkins in the classroom at lunch time.

FYI: The kids already know, but I am going to be late on Monday morning.  Mrs. Nicki will be in my room.  One of my daughters has an appointment to have stitches taken out of her foot.  I will be there as soon as I can.

I am hoping to update the schedule in their binders this week.  I think the one we used this last week is going to work.

If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.

First Blog post (August 24-27, 2015)

This is how I choose to communicate with parents instead of sending on a paper newsletter home.  If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me by email, Facebook, or text.

We had an amazing first week of school.  Most of us made it through the first week.  If your child is going to be absent please let me know by email, Facebook, text, or by calling HFYH School.

Star Student this week will be Colton.  Please fill out the questionnaire that I placed in this folder.  Also, send snack for 8 kids for 4 days from items listed on the approved snack list. There is a copy in your child's binder.

This week we will begin our regular educational routine.  I am still playing with our class schedule. Things did not run as smoothly as I would like.  I will update the kids binders when I have set a new schedule.

This week we will be working with the letter Aa. We will be learning to write the upper and lower case letters as well as working with the sounds that the letter Aa say.  I sent home letter bags today in their binders.  There is an instruction sheet attached to the bag.  Send them in on Monday and as soon as we have shared them in class I will send them home.

We will also be working with the number 1.  We will learn how to write the numeral 1, the word one, as well as learn how many one means.

We will be working on learning the shape of triangle.

We will be introducing our first sight word: at.  We will be working on writing at, spelling at, Using at in sentences as we speak, looking for the word at in stories.  A good way to reinforce this at home is to have them look for the sight word at while you are reading with them.

Our bible lesson this week is God created light!  We will be doing some activities with this in the classroom.  This will also be our theme for chapel time on Wednesday morning.

I am looking forward to seeing what they have chosen to put in their Aa bags this next week!
