Last Couple Days

We have had some busy days and only a half day on Friday. That means we are done school at 11:00am. Please still send a snack!

New Letters - "ng" blend and "Vv" - ask me what the sounds and actions are! We have been using these actions to help us sound out new words in books and while we are writing. Will you help me practice all the letter sounds at home and build some words or sentences??

We wrapped up anger for the week. After reading a book about what anger is and how to make anger go away, we came up with our own lists. In a chart we used very descriptive words to explain what anger looks like and sounds like. Then we made a list of about 12 strategies, that we could use, at school or at home, to help the anger go away. Ask me which strategy I like to use!

In class, along with the anger, we are continuing our work around the school's four Pillars of Care: Care for Self, Care for Others, Care for Learning, and Care for Place. Tomorrow morning we are having our second assembly. Four new kids from each class will be receiving a ribbon for consistently showing one or all of the pillars of care. Just because 4 kids are getting an award does not mean the rest of us are not trying or doing a good job as well.


Reminders:
-Tomorrow is a half day!
-Library books due back Monday. Please see pink notice from your child if no library book has come home in a while.
-Pillars of Care assembly tomorrow. If your child is one to receive an award, we would like to invite you to the assembly at 8:15am.
