PEGS I Students are Learning Spanish
Caleb's mom, Natasha Bailey, has agreed to teach us Spanish this year. She comes each Thursday between 3:00-3:30. We are currently learning our Spanish letters and numbers. This week we chose our own Spanish names. The kiddos had so much fun playing Spanish Bingo. Thanks, Mrs. Bailey, for committing to teaching us Spanish!

News Reports are Due Weekly
The students give news reports every week. They need to start working on these over the week-end prior to the day the report is due. Third graders give their reports on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with second graders giving their reports on Thursday. Our class will be able to complete these assignments at a new website in the next few weeks.
Pokemon Cards
The Pokeman cards are becoming a distraction for the students. For that reason, I'm asking that you PLEASE HAVE THE STUDENTS KEEP THEIR CARDS AT HOME FROM NOW ON. I've told the kiddos that the first time I see the cards II will keep them until they leave in the afternoon. And, the second time I'll keep the cards until parents come and get them. I really hate to take this action, but it has really become a problem in our classroom.

Computers Used Daily in Our Classroom
Currently the students are visiting three websites on a daily basis. The first one, is Pearson Math. The second, is a spelling and vocabulary site, Spelling City. The last one is Study Island which is communication arts and math. The students are being encouraged to work on the assignments at these sites at home.
