Well, we made it through the first week! Our class is doing very well with the procedures and routines. I am very proud! 

Here are a few things we will be doing this week in class.  

We will start working on number 2, the circle shape, and the letter A.  We will be learning the color blue and have blue snack on Friday.  Please send blue snacks for the class on Friday. Students will also be counting to 20 and recognizing letters in the alphabet.  I have flash cards to test them on for report card testing. 

I hope everyone got the memos I sent home on Friday.  There should have been one about the 1st six weeks report card testing and our reading unit. We will start Unit 1 titled "Off to School". The memo about the concept wall/board is for your child to find a picture or draw a picture of something that he/she relates to school.  We will post this in the classroom and discuss what each person brings.  

We will also have the MAP test on Thursday.  This is just a test to see what we need to work on for the rest of the year and see what areas are strongest and weakest.  It is not a grade and we don't want to stress the students out about it. We will continue to complete these MAP test in the Winter and Spring.  Please send a pair of headphones for your child to wear during the test. I have gallon size baggies to store each students headphones in.  Your child will use these in our technology class as well.  Each student having individual headphones helps keep germs at bay. 

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to message me or call me.  I look forward to another awesome week! :)
