Mrs.B's Smart Cookies

Welcome back to everyone - I hope that you all had some fun family time as well as some time to relax and recharge over the holidays!

A change for the next few weeks - after seeing a lot of improvement in weekly reading records over the passed few months we will be taking a break from this formal assignment until the end of January.  Students are still encouraged to read every day and we will be doing some paired reading and responding, as well as some more book talks in class as alternate ways of sharing our understanding.

Our weekly homework assignment this week is in spelling with assignment #3 to go with it due on Friday. All words this week focus on the long i sound. Please check in with your child to see how they are progressing.

Finally - two more every exciting things!
1. Next Monday we are starting our gymnastics programs (Mondays at 11:00).  Please help your child to remember to bring appropriate comfortable clothing.
2.  Our family of Smart Cookies will be growing!  Joining our classroom this week will be two new students. Please take a few minutes at home to talk about ideas for making these new classmates feel comfortable.
