ASPIRE!

That word can spark stress into our students in the upper grades as it is tied to our state's standardized tests. Our school, however, took the bull by the horns and promoted the upcoming tests with daily themes for the week leading up to the test. Mrs. Ray allowed K teachers to participate... awesome sauce! I'm all about dressing up for a good cause!!

Searching for Sight Words

I love using our Let's Find Out magazines (Scholastic!!). As our sight word vocabulary grows, we have become more excited about finding our words in everything we read! Here, a sweet girl searches and circles our sight words. Then, she marks other special "rules" we are learning: long e made with double e's, sight words in bigger words, etc. Dissecting the reading first helps us be successful readers!

Gr8 Sk8 Rollers

Our high-achievers visited Gr8 Sk8 today for a rewarding field trip. Although some rollers took quite a while to gain their bearings, all kiddos seemed to have a blast! We ended our field trip to a local park for wheel-less play and a picnic.
