Summer Days...

Hi Folks,

Hopefully today will be the worst of the heat and the classrooms will begin cooling down over the next several weeks. On Monday this week the students were introduced to our Spelling program. They received their login information in a parent letter (which I hope they shared with you) and practiced logging in to use the spelling games. Your child also received a "Spelling Menu". This menu should be used to help them choose ways to practice their spelling at home. Please have them cross off the activities that they complete. On Friday they need to return the board, but do not need to send in the actual work. They will take a spelling quiz on Friday to assess their progress. You can access these scores by logging into their account. I will not be sending home a graded test. If you have any questions about the requirements please let me know.

Stay cool and enjoy our final days of summer!
Ms. Moores

DOT Day!!

Happy DOT day!

We had so much fun celebrating dot day in Room 105! 

The Dot by Peter Reynolds tells the story of a young girl learning to believe in herself and changing her mindset to realize her true potential. We participated in several activities based on this theme. Some of the activities the students used to make their mark were a sticker survey around the room, designing a 3D Dot with an iPad, and creating a sticker which they then gave away in a sticker swap. If you would like to see some of our 3D dots take a look at the technology tab. 

Thank you!

Thank you for a successful parent night last night!

I enjoyed the chance to meet many of you and match parent to child. I hope that you were able to get a sense of the classroom in our short time together. I forgot to mention last night how much I am loving this class already. It is amazing to me that in such a short few weeks of school we are already functioning as though we have been together an entire year. I am very excited for what this year is going to hold for us.

If you were not able to attend last night keep an eye out for the handouts I gave out last night. I have put them in your child's mailbox to go home this afternoon. Please let me know if you have any questions about my program. I look forward to working with you this year!
