Every scholar in our classroom has demonstrated what a super scholar looks like, sounds like, and most importantly, what it means. Our scholars demonstrated our core virtues of Citizenship, Friendship, and Wisdom during our grade level field trip to Rocker 7 Farms. Our scholars walked hand in hand, listened to our presenters, demonstrated respect for all, and shared their knowledge of farm life as they explored and enjoyed the amazing farm. Thank you to all of our parent volunteers! An event such as this would not be possible without your time and support.
Our scholars demonstrated our core virtues of Courage, Perseverance, and Honesty as we dove into our first week of reading groups. Scholars showed a lot of courage embarking on a new journey of reading independently. Some adjustments will be made next week within reading groups. Currently, every child has one book in their book bag. Next week, some children will come home possibly with flash cards, writing notebooks, and/or 2 books. Please be patient as I work diligently to assess what each child needs in order to be successful and confident. I do not want a child to reach frustration with reading. My goal is to adjust and scaffold reading instruction so each child feels successful and discovers a love for reading within. Next week I will send home individual letters/instructions in your child's reading book bag. The letters will not be placed in their bags until Tuesday or Wednesday after I've been given a couple to days to instruct and meet with groups. Spalding updates: Next week's spelling words will include markings so you may check your child's work with the correct markings. The word a is underlined and is rule 4 because "a may say it's name when there is nothing after it". However, I have always taught my students to say "u" when reading it. For example, a bug would be "u bug". I have been modeling saying both "a" and "u" when reading the word a. I'm finding it difficult to even change my habit but, you may choose with your child how to say it but regardless, we will write it with an underline and apply Rule 4. We will begin reciting our Poem Singing Time Tuesday. Please continue to practice with your child! Math Activity Book A will be sent home as a part of homework for next week. Please review the newsletter for pages to complete and return activity book on Friday with homework packet. Since we have not sent home the activity book yet this year, for additional practice your child may work on any lesson from 1.1 - 3.5. This is not a requirement just extra practice if needed or desired. Wish List:

Thank you Mrs. Picazo for the updates & on reviewing with us what to expect in the following days. I'm relieved to hear that they can complete the math book up to the assigned portion you gave this week. Landen began writing & I stopped him & explained I didn't have your permission. He loves working in a book. I think it's less intimidating for him. I'll allow him to write a few pages a day in the math book if he is finished with his daily assignment. I liked what was written in this weeks packet. About teaching them to have a passion & desire to learn & that praise should be given in replace of bribes or treats. For me, it's always nice to hear the encouragement that is given to the students & it helps as a parent new to educating a young child to bring those habits home & share that enthusiasm with them. Having knowledge & understanding is something to be excited over. I am impressed how far he has come in just a couple of months. As he becomes more established & familiar; his excitement grows. He has never been in preschool so that fear has always been there if he would have a difficult time adjusting. but I have no doubt now that he loves school along with making friendships & adoring his teachers.
