Curriculum News
We have been studying 12 different types of genres over the past two weeks. Your child has heard many examples of these and should now know the characteristics that describe each.
Next week we will begin reading "Officer Buckle and Gloria." While reading this story we will be focusing on language skills, sequencing, and vocabulary.

Reading Log
We made our first visit to claim our brag tags!! Many, well almost all, of us were able to earn at least one brag tag for our reading at home and in the classroom! I was so impressed by all of the work the students have done in such a short time! Keep up the reading!
Homework Questions
Now that we have the year in full swing, just wanted to mention a few things in regards to homework. Students should be reading 20 minutes nightly! This will be written in their agenda daily. In addition to their reading, the students should be working on ways to study their spelling words. Each child put a choice board in their daily folder of ways to study for the spelling test they will have every Friday!
Flexible Seating
We have began to work in a flexible seating choice. This week students will begin using exercise balls to sit on during class. To start with there will only be six balls in rotation and it will move from each table group each week until I am able to purchase more balls for the students to sit on. If you would like to donate to our flexible seating please keep in mind we are using 55 cm balls. Thanks for all of your help and excitement.
Class Dojo
Thanks so much to the 11 families that have connected to class dojo so far. I have sent home two notices to families who have not connected. If you need help getting connected to check in on our progress throughout the day, please let me know and I will help get you on. This is an awesome way to communicate with me daily from things such as how your child is doing in class to what do they need to do for homework.
