Challenge for the Week...
My goal for this week is to learn all our 1st grade students' names. I learned our kindergarten babies this week and I hope to add a new grade level each week. I may miss my "good mornings," because I will be learning names.

LEARN
Curriculum Night
Please see Heather's email regarding what to plan for Curriculum Night. The schedule and a picture of rotations is below. We will use a similar punch card system as Sneak-A-Peek. We will have a free hot dog dinner for families, bus transportation for families in the apartments, and "mini job fair" with business accepting job applications for our parents that may be seeking employment.
K/1 teachers, please encourage your parents to visit the Phonics session.
Osmo Kits
We have SIX Osmo kits that can be checked out and used during your independent practice and group times. If you would like one, and/or would like some ideas for how to use them in your classroom, please swing by my office.
