Here
and there:
·
Just a reminder that last year phonogram cards were made for you
for at home practice, use them for verbal reviews. If you no longer have them it would be a
great idea to make your own phonogram cards using index cards and the app for assistance.
Students can write the phonogram on the front and flip it over to add spelling words
that have that phonogram in them. Any
extra phonogram practice at home goes a long way in the classroom. The first 46 have been introduced and
counting!
·
No school Monday!
·
Parents are invited to attend the informative special event on
Wednesday, September 5th at 7:00.
The amazing Franklin kindergarten team will teach families all about the
Spalding language program. If you would like to become more knowledgeable on
this helpful spelling program please attend.
·
I decided that the best way to stay organized with school
supplies would be to use a crayon/ pencil box. I gave each student a small
pencil box to use for the school year. If you would like to purchase one for
you child please send it in and they can use it. Again, the smaller sized one,
the 8x6 inch size.
·
Please message me on Dojo or write a note on your child’s
homework assignment sheet if there a change in transportation. If I am not
aware of adjustments I cannot make the change and transportation will be as
normal.
·
It is so heartwarming to see the moments of caring and
considerate actions made by our classmates. From tying a friend’s shoe to words
of encouragement, it is wonderful to see that we have cultivated a place that
takes care of one another. Thank you students for the endless amounts of
sweetness.
·
Seasonal colds and allergies seem to have hit room 19. Please
rest up and wash your hands regularly to avoid contacting and spreading germs.
·
As next week is a short we week will be sending home review
pages to use for spelling word homework. The normal routines with Spalding
books and 30 words per week will continue the following week.

Use the link to sign up for a parent/teacher conference!

This month we made a conscious effort to take responsibility for
our learning, obligations, and actions. These responsible actions make for
endless amounts of learning and growing.
I look forward to acknowledging one student on Monday.
·
For the month of September we will be focusing on EFFORT. I am
able to observe effort as students show neat and accurate handwriting, make
thoughtful connections, and acts in ways that are helpful to our room 19
culture. When we put all of our energy
into our obligations our time together will be extremely valuable. I cannot
wait to award another room 19 classmate who continually shows effort.
A look at next week…
Spalding
We
will continue to review the first 36 phonograms while introducing the next
5. Spelling homework may look a little
different as students will bring home a sheet of spelling words as a review. All
10 words from the sheet will need to be written on the green homework
assignment sheet. Please return the sheet so we can use for Tuesday as well as
Wednesday. Due to the short week we will review words instead of inputting new
ones.
Reading
I
love the participation as I am able to hear many students read aloud to the
class. Thank you for the effort and enthusiasm students! Next week we will
continue to focus on informative narratives. We will take important information
and key words to use in graphic organizers. The use of close reading marks are
still happening as we read, so fun!
Math
We
are REALLY catching onto fact families as we relate addition and
subtraction. Next week we will work on number
patterns to 120.
Science
The
human body will continue with the circulatory system.
History
The
students took great interest in the Statue of Liberty. It was exciting to see
them make connections with such an amazing U.S. landmark. We will continue our American symbols unit
with the bald eagle.
I
hope you all enjoy your holiday weekend with friends and family,
Ms.
Reger
