Website for Practicing Letter Recognition

Here is a website for practicing letter recognition. Students who are in our letter recognition practice group used this website today during our listening time to review letters independently. You can also visit this site at home with your child to review as well. Thanks!

P.S. Remember my motto "Parent + Teacher = Student Success!".

Guidance Visit


Mrs. Quarles, our school guidance counselor, visited our class this month to discuss good touch/bad touch. She shared important tips for our students to remember to keep themselves safe. One rule she shared was tell somebody (an adult) who will believe you if there is a problem. Talk to your child to find out what other important rules they learned about during her visit. Mrs. Quarle's character education word is "dependability" for the month of September. Ask your child to share ways they can be dependable at school and at home!

Our Favorite Things To Do...


Our class wrote a class list about our favorite things to do in class. This was our first step in the writing process called Pre-Writing. We then took our list of words and added it to a program called Tagxedo. The children were excited to see which words were the biggest, and which words were the smallest. The biggest words were the choices that our class chose the most in our writing activity. Check out our finished project above, and see if you can figure out what activity the majority of our students said was their favorite thing to do!
