Welcome Back!

Happy New Year!  I hope that you all have enjoyed the break and are ready to get back to work!  I know I am!

Here is what you can expect in the coming back to school week.....

Miss Davis will be with us full time as our student teacher.  She will be working to complete a research project for her Master's Degree Program.  This will require that some students have their voices recorded.  There will only be audio recording and no video.  If you would not like your child to participate with this, please email me to let me know.  Please be assured that I will be working very closing with Miss Davis to assure that our children receive the best education possible.  I am excited to have "extra time" to devote to the class too!  

We will be working on learning to compare and contrast in reading as will as recognizing digraphs while reading and writing, sh, ch, th, wh.  We will also be learning how to write opinion papers.  This will be fun!  We will continue to read both with the reading series and reading groups.  We will also continue to work on word study.  Please continue to support this effort at home with daily homework.

Math will be reviewing calendars, graphs and patterns.  This 9 weeks will teach the students how to work with growing patterns.  

We will also investigate day/night and seasonal change that occurs here in Spotsylvania county.  We will talk about how the weather affects the way we dress, the activities we do and how the animals in our area adapt to the changing seasons.

Upcoming Dates:

January 19-- No School

January 23-- Early Dismissal ( 12:30 )  and end of the 9 weeks

January 29-- Report Cards Issued 

Enjoy the last few days of break!  I look forward to seeing everyone on Monday morning!
