Mrs. Lindsey's Class

Hello,
Monday will be the beginning of our homework. You can go to the homework page at the top of this page to see the daily expectations. The homework is based around their weekly word sorts, math on Moby Max and reading. The homework schedule will b as follows:
Mondays- print, cut words, sort with an adult and go over what the rule is for the week. (I teach this to the class on Monday mornings)
Tuesdays- sort the words in alphabetical order with a buddy, this could be tough since many of the words are alphabetized by the second letter. They need to be written in a notebook or submitted online.
Wednesdays- sort the words and then write them, in sorted order, in a notebook or submit online.
Thursdays- choose 6 words and write them in a sentence in their notebook or submit online.
Fridays- put notebook in backpack or submit online so that Mrs. Lindsey gets it.
Each day please have your child go on Moby Max and do activities in the math section and read for 20 minutes. Homework can be sent to school with items completed in a notebook, a parent note saying that “we did all we could this week” or submitted online in the e submission area on the blog.
Please don’t let homework become a battle at home. Even if you can have your child spell words out loud as you go on a walk, I’m okay with that!
I will be sending Moby Max log in information along with the spelling group color and sort words for the first week, home with your child on Monday. Please look for it then! I will also post them on the blog if you need them that way.

We are planning to go to Black Island Farms on September 21st. We will be leaving the school at 9:15 in the morning and returning at approximately 1:30. Each child will need a sack lunch, that does not need to be heated, and a water bottle. We will be walking through a farm, learning about vegetables, picking our own pumpkins and doing activities in a field so please dress your child in appropriate shoes that day. It is not a dress down day so the students will need to be in uniform. If your child has a red uniform shirt, please dress him/her in that color. I will repost this information several times before the 21st.
Due to the high cost of transportation- we are asking, and pleading, for a $5 donation from each child. This needs to be paid to the office by September 15th.
We can have parents meet us at the farm as chaperones. Parents will need to pay the office $3.50 by the 15th if they plan to attend. Also, please let me know if you will be attending. Please NO siblings!

Thank you for all your help!
Susan Lindsey

Happy Friday!,

We are learning about plants this month for science! We are going to do a lot of exciting things including having a Bee Keeper come visit our class. He will be visiting us Thursday September 10. He will be bringing in a clear observation hive with live honeybees and he will talk about the process of pollinating plants. The bees are completely contained and the students love to see them at work. If you are uncomfortable having your child in the classroom at this time, please let me know and I can arrange something/somewhere they can be for this period of time.

We will not be having formal homework until the week of September 14th. However, any reading you can do, at home, will be greatly appreciated, plus your child can access the different computer activities through the school website that we are learning here in class. Your child will be given a group color for their word sorts on the 14th. I will send home a sort with that information on the 14th. After the first week, the sorts will be posted so that you can print them from home to complete homework.
Have an amazing Labor Day weekend!

Happy Tuesday!,
What a whirlwind week we have had! We seem to now be up and running. The class is doing great!
So far we have taken our Word Study test and our first math unit test. I will be sending out the word study groups in 2 weeks. We will be practicing word study as a group and word sorting. This way they should have an idea what to do with their words when they are doing their sorts as homework.
We will start homework on September 14th. I will be changing some homework items so please don’t worry about what is currently listed under the homework section.
Tomorrow and Thursday we will be completing our STAR math and reading tests.
Please read, all that you can, with your child. If you would like them to do some Moby Max while at home, their username is their first name and password is rams.
Please feel free to contact me for any questions or concerns.
Thanks so much!
Susan Lindsey
