Book Bags


I created book bags for all of our class. These book bags contain your child's leveled reader for the week. Please read this book with your child throughout the week. Point out sight words. Work with your child on becoming an amazing reader. Please send these book bags back daily. As we are becoming more and more proficient with reading, I will be changing out their books quicker. The books are part of a class set, so please send them back. Thank you!

Marion County Fair

We had a fun time at the Marion County Fair. A big thank you for all the volunteers that made this event possible. We appreciate it!






Scissors & Glue


We have been working so hard on our cutting and gluing skills. Please forgive the mess. We are really trying to build our fine motor skills.

Week 10/7

This week we have a lot of things going on. We will begin our beginning of the year TPRI testing. This is our reading testing. I test students on rhyming, blending, and letter identification. It is a long test. I will be absent on Thursday, so folders will not be sent home. We will be testing for report cards as well. It is a full week with lots of testing unfortunately. On Friday, our theme is Pink Out. Your child can help us celebrate tackling cancer by wearing pink.

Reading Academy Video


Thank you for sending back your child’s video release form. I was selected this summer to attend a Reading Academy at Region 8. We are collaborating with each other to learn different strategies and techniques to teach reading. I picked a goal for our class to work on. I chose identifying letters and producing their sounds due to these items really only being covered in Kindergarten. I was asked to make two videos for the Academy. One in the fall and one in the spring. The videos are short 5-10 minute videos showing how I work with my students on letters and sounds. We can show our class doing games, flash cards, or activities that show them engaged in learning. We already do all these things, except we don’t videotape. I hope no one gets camera shy!! The video will only be viewed by Mrs. Rhonda Reed, my instructor, and myself. They will not be published on the internet or social media for others to view. Once again, thank you for sending your child’s form back. I know it came out of the blue, but thank you for your support.
