Today...my class was DYNAMITE!! :)

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT CAME TO OUR BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT!

**If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me**

I just wanted to recap a few things that we learned on Friday and Monday. We focused on the letters (sounds) for k, ck and short e. Our new words were do, this, what, & for. On Friday, we spent a good part of our day taking a benchmark test that will give me a sense of what skills the children are familiar with and what skills are not known. This was not for a grade but rather a general assessment to see what we need to cover this year. As I mentioned at back to school night, I am still assessing the children and getting to know their learning styles/abilities.

Moving on...HAPPY TUESDAY! :)

This morning we started off with our start smart book. We practiced the letters and sounds for g & w. Our new words for the day were here & little. We practiced our handwriting skills and also worked on grammar (and sentence structure).

We read a little reader from our start smart book called Here We Are!
 Please use these readers at home for review of our new words and letter sounds!

Here is our "name stick" selected model!
The children were so excited that they
knew EVERY word in the story!!

Today during snack time the children started talking about their favorite TV shows (which I must learn all about) & favorite music artists. It then turned into a singing/dancing party.
I just had to record the children singing "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz!
They were so adorable!
I may just have to catch them singing daily!!
We take requests!! :)
(I may have to teach them a little NKOTB or BSB!)


THANK YOU for donating recess materials today!
The children were so excited to have hula hoops and balls to play with!

This afternoon, the children had library and we continued to discuss God's creation! We are beginning to work on our creation pieces. Mrs. G, the artistic one of the bunch, did a beautiful example for the kids!



 The kids are really working hard for Jesus!






Have a DYNAMITE day! :)
