Week 6 Recap
Posted on Sunday, September 30th, 2018 at 9:12 pmHi Everyone!
It came to my attention that the list of projects didn’t post under the projects tab. Sorry about that! I had put it on, but it didn’t get saved in order to be updated. Those project outlines are now up under the Projects tab 🙂
This past week we tried the COW laptops and had all students login and have the program know where they are reading at. Ms. Misha and I will be making sign in cards and once we get those out then we will have students bring home a copy so they can use the program at home too. The school is wanting all our students to do 45 minutes per week. They will at least be getting 20 minutes while at school. This week only a handful of the laptops will be out so that cultural lessons and Imagine Learning can go on at the same time.
With the early out, the COW, and our salsa making lesson this past Friday, our cultural lessons from last week will be made up this week.
Ms. Leigh’s ErdKinder class visited our room this past Friday and she and I had the children identify different kinds of fruits and veggies and learn how to classify which is which. After the lesson was over then students helped prepare the ingredients and students got to taste 2 different kinds of fresh salsa.
A social skills lesson our students worked on this week is learning different voice levels and when it is appropriate to use such volumes. This will be a great segway to our CHAMPS class management system that will help our students be able to know when it is appropriate to use which voice level.
Fall Festival! Annually MMA hosts a Fall Festival! This is a time when our students are allowed to show off their Halloween costumes and get to have some fun doing games and events. In order to help run our Fall Festival the best it can be we do need parent volunteers! If you log into your Track it Forward, there should be 3 sign ups to choose from.

October Field Trip! Our next field trip is approaching! Our class, Ms. Jill’s, and Ms. Mikaela’s class will going to Gibson’s Green Acres Farm on October 9th. This is a Tuesday. We will need parent drivers and also chaperones. There isn’t a number as to how many chaperones we can have, so if you would like to stay at our field trip, please email me as soon as you can so I can put together groups. Out of 3 classes, the farm is asking us to split them up into groups of 5. This will allow each group to rotate through their stations. Even though some of Ms. Jill’s and Ms. Mikaela’s students will be with some of our students our parent chaperones will only be responsible for those students in our classroom. Permission slips go out tomorrow (Monday), but if you would like to have a digital copy on hand, here is the permission slip.
Please begin to contact our room mother, Katie, of you are able to make a carpool for other students or you are taking your own child. Please email her this information by Friday October 5th. Thanks!
Parent Teacher Conferences are also on the week of October. Our first round of conferences will be going over our observations and progress we know so far. The MMA progress report will be given out and we will begin to make and review goals. Students are welcome to attend if they would like, but are not required. We are looking forward to building portfolios for our February PTC. I will have sign ups for October’s PTC soon 🙂
Have a great upcoming week!
Ms. Kaley and Ms. Misha
