I hope you had a blessed long weekend. As we kick off our fifth six weeks, I wanted to express how brilliant each of your students is! They put in hard work every day, are so eager to learn new things, and make my job so much fun. I am so lucky to be their teacher! 

I have a few classroom updates for you:
AR Tests: I feel like our AR tests went really well these past six weeks! I have set new goals for this upcoming six weeks. If you have any questions or concerns about AR, please feel free to reach out to me. 

The skill of the Six Weeks: This six weeks, I would love for you to work on reading names of colors, such as purple, red, blue, and so on, with your child. This is a great skill to master before first grade! 

Addition and Subtraction: We are going to be diving deeper into addition and subtraction this six weeks- exciting! This is a big concept to master in kindergarten and something students have to know to be successful in future grades. Please be prepared to work on this at home.

Weekly Homework: Homework will still continue to go home weekly on Mondays, due on Fridays. This homework is simply to work on responsibility; therefore, will only be a responsibility grade. If homework is turned in on time, it is 100. If not, the homework will follow the late work policy in place. 

Pizza Hut BOOK IT!: We are still continuing with our Pizza Hut BOOK IT! Challenge! Please write the books read at home in your child's planner (weekends and holidays count, too!) and I will keep track. Our February goal is 20 books. Our March goal is 20 books as well. 

Please let me know if there are any questions, comments, or concerns! I am always available to discuss these with you. 
Lastly, thank you for all you do to make our classroom such a fun, learning-filled environment! 

"Amazing things are happening here."
