Updates

Dear Parents,
Well I guess it was my turn! I apologize for not updating the blog this week. I have been out sick a couple of days with the flu. I am so sorry I did not put the spelling and vocab words on here since I had them at home with me.
I am so excited for this time of the year!!!! The Reading Challenge officially begins tomorrow with our Rock Star Readers Theme. So dress up like a rock star everyone! This includes just your attire (dress/clothing). Please do not wear makeup or send any props. Thank you. The required minutes per night is 25 minutes. Take the log home tomorrow (I will send it all again tomorrow even though some of you kept it from earlier this week) and begin logging 25 minutes a day. Bring the log back on Friday the 18th with a parent signature and the total minutes for the week. Each child will receive their prize on Fridays when they turn in their logs. Good luck and happy reading!!!
Just to give you a heads up on what's ahead..... we will be studying penguins for 2 weeks beginning next week. After that, we will study whales. After this month long study is complete, we will have a research project the children will complete at home. We will study several whales and penguins and then the students get to choose one to research and present to the class. With this, they will create a diorama that shows the animal's habitat. More information will come soon! The final projects are due the week of February 11.
Have a fantastic week.
Mrs. Montes
