Monday

Our classroom is a busy place!

Shelter in Place Drill
Today the school had a Shelter in Place drill.  It was just a drill.  This took place toward the end of the day while the students were in the art room.  They did a fantastic job of following directions and staying quiet so the teachers could listen for announcements.  I do not believe this was scary for any of the kids, but it is something you could talk to them about.

Volunteers
I am welcoming volunteers into the classroom.  If you are available and interested in helping in the classroom during the day, let me know.

Library
We did not go to the library today.  The librarian was not feeling well and left early.  I hope she feels better soon and we will return to the library next week.

Reading
We started reading groups today.  The kids did an amazing job!  Some students are ready to start the take home reading program.  I think I will send books home on Friday.  I will start students on the take home reading program when they know at least 18 letter and 15 sounds.  Keep practicing at home!

Take Home Games
I think I will start this program on Friday as well.  Look for a fun game to come home on Friday!
