The past week was very exciting! Ms. Pat joined our classroom on Monday morning and has been such a help already. We had our Fun Run on Friday and the students LOVED it! Thanks to all of your support, our class earned many of the incentives we set for ourselves at the beginning. Tomorrow (Monday) will be hat day and I will let you know once we schedule other events this week.

We did our first classroom spelling bee on Friday and learned a lot about how to participate in a bee including the importance of repeating the word, taking our time decoding the sounds, needing to keep in our head where we are in the word so that we don’t repeat or skip any letters or get them out of order. We will be practicing two more times before our official class spelling bee where we will select the three members of our class attending the schoolwide bee.

In addition to our fun this week, we have also had many students out sick over the last few weeks. Please, if you notice that your student is not feeling well, let them stay home and rest. I also found out today that another Lower Elementary classroom has a lice outbreak. As far as I know, we do not have any students with lice in our classroom, but be extra aware and cautious if your student mentions any itching.
