August 2025!
Well school begins soon! I can't wait to meet my new students and their families. I have been prepping our classroom to make it a calm, inspiring place for learning.
The Swamp Rabbits are offering discount tickets to their games.

Well, it is almost Thanksgiving! Wishing you all a restful holiday break.
Can you believe it is November!
Time does fly....
Yesterday, we enjoyed a field trip to Hunter Farms. Students got to ride on a hayride. They were able to pick a small pumpkin and ride a train. In the barn, they could milk a "pretend cow" along with a number of fun activities. Finally they played on the playground which had mini-"tractors" for them to ride. We enjoyed lunch on the picnic tables and headed home. I will be posting pictures this weekend.
October 8th!
It's certainly been crazy this past week and a half. I have missed you all! Ten days without power or internet, but thank goodness we are safe! I pray you all are too!
I have sent a bunch of SEE SAW messages. Please check them out. Conference schedule is up for you to sign in and schedule your appointment. Students need to bring back their chromebooks and chargers tomorrow. Our field trip is on for October 30th and we will be rocking around the clock 10/18 to celebrate the 50tth day of school. I look forward to being with your children again and fostering their growth.
Can you believe it is September 20th already! Time has surely flown quickly. We are continuing to work on CVC words and short vowel sounds. In math, we are practicing different strategies for addition.
For example using doubles: 5+6 = We know 5+5- 10 so one more means 5+6 =11. The children are getting the hang of it and able to add or subtract 1.
We will look at the use of numberlines next week.
Common words are becoming more and more familar and enable to us read more.
A few friends are still reversing some numbers and letters. If you have time to do some practice at home it would be great!
I hope you all enjoy the weekend. I am looking forward to more learning journeys with your children.

I can see your children growing each and every day! I am so proud of my class. We are working on short vowel sounds and completed i, a, o. Feel comfortable asking them to spell CVC words or write them.
For example; big, bag, tag, hit, hot, hat, etc. We are also writing some simple sentences and thinking about punctuation and caps. In math, we continue to learn strategies for addition and subtraction. We also apply them to word problems.
Writing has been a little slower as I believe we need to build some confidence. We are learning about sequential writing such as; First I went to the store, Then I looked for fresh raspberries, Next I paid for them and went home. Finally, I prepared a big bowl and sat on the porch to enjoy them.
Science is gettting very exciting. Next week we will do our first experiment on germs. This week we are focuing on our five senses.
I hope you had a nice Labor Day weekend.

It has been a busy week in our classroom. We are learning about short a sounds and forming cvc words. We have been practicing upper and lower case numbers. In addition, we are learning about punctuation.
In math we are learning to bundle 10 and count up from there. Thus we are introduced to teen numbers and beyond!
The class is still working on PRIDE rules and expectations. When we have several days that we earn a tiger we will get a special treat. Our issue that we are working on right now is excess talking in the halls and during instruction.
I am beginning to learn about each of your children and their specific needs. Many students are writing their numbers backwards and we are working on that.
I hope you have a great weekend. Looking forward to another week of learning!

It was a pleasure to meet so many families yesterday. See Saw has been populated and you should have access to my account. Please check to see if you can get in as I will be using See Saw for many of our communication needs.
I can't wait to begin the school year!
