Friday News Flash!

Another week come and gone. What a fun filled week we had! Moving right ahead toward addition in math, learning two new letters, O and C, plus learning two new sight words, my and to, we were busy!

Next week the class will be doing more work around what we are thankful for, including doing a fun craft that will be coming home. I can't wait to see how they turn out! For today I want to update you on our writing progress!


Seussical Writing


On Thursday your students got the opportunity to watch Act 1 of Seussical that the High School is performing this weekend. The kids were mesmerized and were so attentive to the details of the play! In turn I had them write about their favorite part of the play this morning. I have a few examples that you will see below, but I want to emphasize that even if your child isn't writing full words yet, just letters jumbled together that is ok! The act of writing and getting into the habit of writing down our thoughts is a huge step for them and as they get more time and practice the words will come!

As students were writing today they were so proud that they could use their sight words in their writing! I have been absolutely thrilled at their progress. From the first time we wrote where most students wouldn't even attempt writing letters, today, every student made an attempt which is fabulous!

Here are a few examples:

I like the egg.

I like when Mazie protected her egg.

I like when the doctor helped her (Gertrude) grow her tail.

It is so wonderful to see the progress that students are making and how far they have come since the beginning of the year. Thank you for letting me share in their growth. I so enjoy being a part of it and seeing how much they change everyday!

Cheers to a great week!

Smiles,

Miss Adams
