Thanksgiving Day

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving Day!!!

Thanksgiving Feast

We had a great Thanksgiving feast! They enjoyed their headbands!

Veterans Day

Our class created thank you letters for Veterans Day. We sent them to the VFW in Jefferson. Our class sends a big thank you to the men and women that fought for our freedom and to those that are still in the service.

Rocks

We have completed a fun project! The class is studying all about earth materials, such as rocks and water. We have looked at rocks this week. We compared and observed rocks using size, shape, color, uses, and texture. For an art project, the class made pet rocks. I think they turned out pretty darn cute. What do you think?

Election Day

Election Day is November 4th. We are going to have a mock election in class, so that the class better understands the concept of voting. We have already made voter registration cards, so I will expand on this subject. If you would like to share your voting experience with your child, please do so. This will allow he or she to better grasp the concept.

Report Cards

Do not be discouraged by your child's report card. If your child scored a three on most items, it was because these items will be ongoing throughout the year. A three in my classroom means that your child understands the subject and has shown that he or she can master the topic. However, if I provided a four in that subject, where would the room be for your child to grow and improve? I hold my students to not just kindergarten standards, but to first grade standards. I want my class to be able to succeed in everything that they do. So, I can not just accept the best in subject areas. I want excellence. I want to be able to say that your child has gone above and beyond. Please understand that I am just like you all. I want what is best for your child, so I will continue to push them forward towards success.

Halloween

Hope everyone had a spooktacular Halloween!!!
