We worked very hard this week! Thank you so much for doing a fantastic job on the first week with the Family Journals. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I know Thursdays became my favorite day of the week when my son brought his home. Remember that your child may choose to share their journal when they bring it back. We had a lot of fun sharing them today. The children were so proud and excited to share their love notes from you. Thank you for your time and kind words that poured over their journals. No wonder these children are so amazing, they have amazing parents! Remember the journals are always due on the day we return from a weekend so you have the whole weekend to respond.
Next week we will begin a non-fiction study on Friday. Please have your child bring in a picture of themselves doing something.... anything! Eating, sleeping, playing a sport, posing.....etc. We are making a non-fiction journal and will start with a photograph of ourselves as we write captions and explore the wonderful world of non fiction. You will get the photograph back, but it will be glued to the journal. So don't make it a very special picture because it will get sticky!
We read a lot of stories this week and made connections to our schema. Hopefully they can tell you something about Ruby, a crafty chameleon, or even Oscar! Our lesson this week was "Being Me" first and no one else because me is who I am made to be! I hope that our good character will shine in each of us as we make good decisions about who we are and encourage others around us also. We are learning to be children of good character and show integrity.
Parent Volunteers-thank you those of you who already started coming in. I really appreciate it. I do not have the "schedule" ready yet because of MAP testing these next two weeks. We can always use helpers 8:00-11:20. Thank you!
Have a great 3-day weekend! Enjoy the time with family and friends. Hoping for some good weather this weekend, as my family and I are going camping.
:) Mrs. Montes
