We are one week into February and "love" is in the air. In class last week we wrote about people and things we love. The kids did a great job! Their writing and details in pictures have come a long way since the beginning of kindergarten. It is so fun to see their progression. This week we will be making love bugs and our Valentine Party is just one week away. If you have not sent in your donation for the party, please do so by Friday. Thanks! In math we are working with patterns and graphs. The kids are enjoying all of the fun activities that go along with this math chapter. Ask your child about sound and movement patterns or have them show you a color pattern. They have got the patterns down!
Progress Reports and our Middle Benchmark DIBELS scores will be going home on Friday. I am so impressed with the progress that each of the kids made this time on the DIBELS test. I am sure you will be delighted with the scores as well. If you have questions about the testing or your child's grades, please contact me so we can chat. Yearbooks are on sale for $17.00. If you are interested in purchasing a yearbook, please send a check payable to Simonton PTO for $17.00. This is a great way to remember classmates and friends.
