Schedule for 1/19 - 1/23

M - No School
T - Music
W - Art & Computer
Th - Gym & Media (remember to return books)
F - No School - Teacher Workshop 

Because of the short week, we do not have a letter of the week or a new word family.  We will, however, do two new sight words - his and as.  This week we will be working on learning about symmetry and equal parts of an object.  

We are into our second week of doing reading groups/centers in the afternoons.  The class is doing awesome!  We have a full hour set aside 3 times a week.  During that hour, the students are broken into groups of 2 or 3 and rotate into 3 centers each day.  While they are in their groups, I pull students to work on guided reading.  I've also used this time to re-assess for report cards coming up (end of Feb.).  

Thanks to everyone who has sent in a box/bag of extra snacks for the classroom!  It's nice to have extras on hand in case someone forgets!

Have a great day!
