Who's Ready for a Long Weekend?

We are!!!

It's been another busy week in Room 202. We learned about the 7 continents and 4 oceans, and the children drew and labeled some amazing maps of the world! They are on display in our hallway, so if you are in the building, be sure to check them out. Next week we will continue with our geography lessons, learning about cardinal directions and doing some geography centers.

Next week will also be an exciting week in reading. We will begin guided reading groups next week, as well as begin using Reader's Theater as a way of improving fluency and comprehension.

Technology has certainly not been kind to us this week. We were scheduled for NWEA testing on Wednesday and Friday this week, but due to some server issues, we are scheduled for testing on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday next week. The children have done a fantastic job showing flexibility.

Today in the student's Friday Folders, I sent home information about the Dog Dash that will be held on Friday, Sept. 11. This is a major fundraiser for our school's PSG. The money raised will go to pay for field trips, as well as other wonderful opportunities for our students. Our goal is to raise $15,000. While this number seems high, it is definitely attainable! If each student raises $25.oo, we can reach our goal. There is much more information in the envelope I sent home today. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me or any member of the PSG. I am hoping that each student in my class can help contribute.

I hope everyone enjoys this Labor Day weekend. I am looking forward to relaxing with my family, and recharging my batteries!

Thanks to all for all you do for your children!
