We had a great week and got a lot of things done in class. This week we will continue our Daily 5 practice. We will be adding our "Word Work" center which will help students learn more about words, phonics, spelling and grammar.
Monday and Tuesday will be our Galileo pre-testing. These tests help us to chart where our class and students are progressing and also where we need to focus on helping them more. It is an awesome tool. We will take four of these tests this year.
We have discussed bullying a lot this week. We are learning the difference between being bullied and just being treated unkindly. It is hard to recognize and we are still working on it. Basically, bullying is a repetitive unkind behavior towards the same student. Please report to me any suspect treatment you believe your child is receiving and I will research it for you. Afterschool problems are more difficult for me to look into as I am not the teacher at that time. However, please contact Ms. Roberts if there are any problems during that time.
Please send in water bottles for your children for afternoon recess and a small snack if you can. We eat lunch at 10:45 . It is very early. Our 2nd recess is at 2p.m. and they are hungry by then!
Have a great week!
Mrs. Nye
