Moon Phases

We studied the moon phases in Science this week. We looked at the full moon, new moon, and quarter moons. We colored in each circle and then used oreos to recreate the pictures. The kids had a fun time creating their moon phases. The oreos were a nice treat afterwards!

January Snowmen

Here is a picture of our bulletin board. It turned out fantastic! I was so excited to see the different snowmen that the kids created. 

MClass Testing

Next week we will complete our MClass testing in reading. This is a timed test. It will cover a range of topics, such as blending, letter recognition, and listening comprehension. From that data, the Dyslexia therapist will examine the scores and determine if your child might have risk factors for dyslexia. I have attached the letter below from our therapist, Jessica Clark. Please read and feel free to contact me with any questions.

First Spelling Test

 

Our first spelling test went fantastic. Most of our class was able to sound out the words and match the sound to the correct letter. I was very proud of how far they have come. We have another spelling test this week. I can't wait to see how they do. We will study the Ug word family. This list will include words such as bug, hug, and slug. Please continue to help your child practice their spelling words by reading, writing, and spelling each one.
