Oh, the Places You'll Go!

I just wanted to thank everyone that voted for me for the “Apple for the Teacher Award” this year. I am deeply touched by your kindness and generosity.  It has been such a blessing to work with your wonderful children this year. I love each of them so much; I am going to miss them terribly when they leave and go on to first grade. Thank you for allowing me to be your child’s teacher and having faith in me. I consider it an honor that I was able to spend the last nine months with your precious little ones. I really am the luckiest teacher!!

We are officially done with homework packets and baggy books!! We will no longer be sending home a baggy book, instead we will be doing the books on RazKids. I have updated your child’s current reading level in RazKids.  You can find the link on my blog under “Student Links”; hover over that tab and you will see your child’s class user name and password for RazKids. Click on “Student Links” and you will find a link to the program.  Please make sure that your child is reading the books and not listening to them. The last day of school is May 25th so please keep your child reading this month and all through the summer!! If you have questions please contact me. 

We need every student to turn in their: Baggy books (please pay $3 if you have lost the book), Sight word ring (please pay $5 if you have lot this ring), and library books (see librarian for cost of replacement). If these items are not returned your child will not be receiving their year books until they have been returned or replaced. Thank you so much!

 We are pleased to announce the winner of the Reading Race for March:  MY AFTERNOON CLASS Won!!!  Way to go!!! To celebrate our win, we will be reading “Curious George Goes To The Ice Cream Shop” and eating ice cream. Thank you for reading with your children.  Please remember that you must read the baggy book at least three times in order for us to count it as a point towards the race.  Keep reading to win the race in April!

The goal for our STEM challenge this month was to make a bridge that Gingerbread Man could get across using only marshmallows and toothpicks.  Here is a video of all the fun we had:

Our project this month was to create a house using a variety of materials. Their house needed to be strong enough to not be blown over by the Big Bad Wolf (AKA the hair dryer).  The children decided how to build their house and what materials they wanted to use.  Here is a video of their project:  

We finally finished testing and I have now updated your child’s current reading level in RazKids.  Please go to my blog under “Student Links”; hover over that tab and you will see your child’s class user name and password for RazKids.
