First Week

 

We have had an eventful first week of school. The class has begun to get into a routine and understand our daily schedule. We have spent most of our time learning about classroom rules and how to be a part of our classroom community. The class has been doing fantastic! I am very proud of their progress. We are going to be learning about M and T, numbers 0-10, and much more next week. I can't wait to see what they can achieve!! 

Awards

Don't forget Second Nine Weeks Awards will be on Friday, January 20th, at 1:15 p.m. in the JPS Gym. 

Spelling Test

Our spelling test went very well last week. I am so proud of how great they did! We will be having another spelling test this week. We are working with the -At word family. We are studying words, such as cat, hat, and that. Practice nightly reading, writing, and spelling these new words. 

Spelling

Don't forget: We will have our first spelling test on Friday, January 13th, over the -Op Word Family. Keep practicing reading, writing, and spelling these words with your child throughout the week! The test will not be graded for report card. 

Butter Makes Things Better

For STEM, we decided to make butter. We watched a short video on how butter was made and then we quickly got to work. It took no time at all before we had tons of butter to enjoy. The kids even sampled their hard work!

Christmas

We had such a fantastic December. The month flew by so quickly. I couldn't believe it. Parties, Christmas store, and Breakfast with Rudolph...there was hardly time to catch our breath. Here is a picture from our Breakfast with Rudolph adventure. I had the best time and so did the kids. 

Thanksgiving

Below is a photo or two from our Thanksgiving Feast. The kids had a great time. Thank you so much for your help. 

Thanksgiving Feast

Don't forget our Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast is tomorrow at 1:30 p.m at the JPS Gym! We have 16 students in our class. Come join us!!

Halloween

Our Halloween party and trick or treat event was fantastic! The kids had a wonderful time. They went home on a sugar high!!

Red Ribbon Week

 Red Ribbon Week was a roaring success!!! 

Pumpkin Patch Pictures

Our pumpkin patch adventure was a success! Unfortunately we had a bug going around in our class and some of our friends did not get to attend. Below are some of our pictures from our trip.

Pumpkin Patch

 

Don't forget tomorrow, October 18th, is our pumpkin patch field trip to Calie's Acres. We will be leaving at 8:30 a.m. If your child needs breakfast, please get them to school before 7:50 a.m. Be sure your child is wearing socks so that he or she can join in our fun on the bounce pad. Please send a bottle of water with your child as well. 

Don't Forget

Please send back any of your child's permission slips. We need a head count for sack lunches. Our cafeteria staff need to know how many lunches to create for our students. 

Report cards go home on Thursday. Please sign and return them as soon as you can. I will be sending MClass BOY results home this week as well. This information is for you to keep and has some helpful tips on the back of the paperwork. 

Jefferson Elementary Students

Jefferson Elementary students dropped by our campus to read stories to our class. The class enjoyed getting to see the older brothers and sisters of their classmates. The students were fantastic readers and the kids were enthralled with them! 

 

STEM Index Card Building

In STEM Specials, we used index cards to create towers by stacking and balancing. The kids had a great time! They enjoyed folding the cards and creating their own creation. Some created buildings. Some created towers. Others made bridges. It was so much fun!
 

STEM Day

Here are a few photos from our STEM Day on Friday. On Fridays, we spend our specials time learning about science and conducting experiments. We built gum drop towers last week. The kids had a blast!

"Out Work The Mustangs"

Here are some photos from "Out Work the Mustangs" Day. We helped to celebrate the pep rally by wearing bright neon colors or construction worker attire. 

 

VFW Fingerprinting

 

The VFW came to campus a day early and got our fingerprinting completed. Each child is going home with a National Child Identification Program that includes their fingerprints. You just need to fill in your child's name, address, phone, etc. to complete the form. This is a great tool in case of emergencies. A big thank you to the VFW and police officers for coming to campus and helping collect our fingerprints. 

Grandparents' Day

Grandparents' Day was a success. Thank you to everyone that came. We loved getting to see all of you. We had a great turn out! This week we don't have too much on our agenda. The only thing that we have going on is a fingerprinting on Wednesday and a fire drill on Friday. 

Grandparents' Day Breakfast Forms

Please return the Grandparents'  Day Breakfast forms on Friday, September 2nd. We need a headcount of the number of grandparents coming. The breakfast will be on September 14th from 7:15-7:40 a.m. We can't wait to see you all!!
