New spelling words will be sent home today. Your child should have their words written in their planners along with a printed list.
I am trying to get my stations in full swing. We will be doing stations during Guided Reading. These stations will change in order to keep the interest level high. The students love them and so much learning is involved.. Learning can be fun! If you have any of these items that you would like to contribute, please feel free. I know sometimes we clean out and are amazed at items we have stockpiled. If you are cleaning out, I am your taker. 😉 I will take any of these items off your hands. If you choose to buy any of these items (absolutely no obligations), most items can be found at Dollar Tree.

Dixie Cups (new)
Legos
Pipe Cleaners
Popsicle Sticks
Velcro dots or velcro strips

I could always use white or colored cardstock.
Teacher friends: If you have any pattern blocks, unifix cubes, or the little square blocks that you are cleaning out, I will gladly take them.
Again, do not feel obligated! This is most definitely optional.
There was a mistake on the vocabulary page. The definitions for living and nonliving were incorrect. Please use these definitions instead:
Students were given a new page that these words were on and they highlighted the words. This list went in the hands of several adults and what do you know…no one saw the mistakes until after they were handed out to the students. Adults are human and make mistakes. (I know, I was shocked as well). Hehe!
Have a great day!
