We had an eventful week of writing, literacy programs on the computer, handwriting practice, and celebrating Ms. Joy’s birthday with a mini math activity! We also practiced some in-class physical activities to improve our focus and boost the energy in our bodies so we are ready for learning!

We had to try to make the square cake into ten equal slices! 
Math on the paper, party hat on the top! 
Here’s a slice for you.. a slice for me… 
Practicing our ruler skills. 
Working hard for a piece of cake! 
Thank you for the cake, Ms. Joy! 
We are practicing the Superman/Supergirl Pose! This helps strengthen our core and develop our balance.
The students have become more comfortable with writing and are gradually able to write more lengthy sentences with guidance. There is a lot of emphasis on proper letter formation and sentence structure, such as where we begin writing letters and what we have at the beginning and end of a sentence (upper case letter and a period/punctuation), respectively. Please take the time to review these concepts with your child at home too!
Also, mid-term conferences are coming up in two weeks! They will be on Wednesday December 11th and Thursday December 12th after school from 3:35 to 5:10pm. Each conference slot is around 20 minutes. Please sign up for a time slot by pressing the button below. It is the same website as before – SignupGenius.com.
We started Show & Tell and it has been great to see what students bring in to share with us! It gives them the chance to practice public speaking and gather their thoughts to present in a coherent manner.

This was his football team and medal!

Have a great weekend!
Take care and take it easy!
