Crazy week!

Hi parents :)

My apologies for not updating the blog sooner... I've just begun my masters program, so I am both teaching AND going to school myself. I fully intend upon posting some fun pictures from this Friday's art lesson with Mrs. Christensen, and we are also working on a fun writing assignment using adjectives... I will post some great examples so you can see some of the fun things we do in class!

I wish you all a fabulous week! Thanks for being so wonderful to work with!

Times Tables!

Parents, we have now started multiplication timed tests... kids have to pass 18/20 questions in a one-minute timing. For now, some are on x2, some on x3, and some have just made it to x4. I highly recommend having your child practice... we are starting 2x1 multiplication next week...

Some ideas for how to make it fun: if you have an iPad, there are two awesome games. One is called "King of Math", which is a great program b/c it's adaptive to your child's learning. The other is "Math Zombies" which is great for kids who want a more fun, basic fact game. These are both awesome and I use them in my classroom (or will, as soon as the iPad lab is back to us!).

Thanks and happy math gaming!

Art fun with Mrs. Christensen!

We are so lucky to have Mrs. C come teach us about art! This week, kids got to learn about shapes, lines, and a city scape using chalk and construction paper.  :) I'm so excited that she will be helping with extra art on Friday!  Hurray!!

It's so much fun! I could only share one picture b/c we shot the pictures in groups, and some of the students never turned in the photo permission slip (please turn it in either way!)

As a side note: homework packets were sent out on Friday, so they are due on Thursday. 

Thanks and have a nice rest of your Sunday!

Update on Aug. 24-28 Homework

Hello parents,

The homework packets will be sent home on Monday, please watch for that to return to your home. They are due back to me on Friday morning.

Also... one last reminder about Back-to-School Day on Wednesday of this next week... please remember to sign up (or email me to let me know if you are unable to attend). I look forward to meeting with you all!

We had a FABULOUS first week. Thank you and see you next week :)

August 19th

Hi Parents!

Just a few updates... only 12 of you have signed up for Back to School Day on August 26th... please sign up on Skyward, it only takes a few minutes.

Also, remember: we have computers tomorrow, but will not be going unless all student registration has been done online.

It's been a great week so far!  Keep checking back on our blog for more class fun!

Come see the classroom!

Parents,

Friday, August 14, you are welcome to come see our classroom from 1:30-3:00 PM. This is just a chance for your child to see where to line up, as well as see where he/she is sitting, and to meet me! The Back-to-School conferences (where you will get 10-15 minutes to talk with me) will be held on Wednesday, August 26th. The window for scheduling this opens up August 17th, and it's first-come, first-serve for when you sign up.

I look forward to seeing you!

Mrs. K :)

Two weeks ... and counting!

Dear Parents,

Only two weeks until the start of our adventure! I cannot wait to meet your child. As a reminder: please join this blog if you have not already... and feel free to post a comment (that way, I know it's working!).

I look forward to hearing from you!!!

Thanks!

Mrs. K :)
