Halloween Party

Halloween Party Info

Tomorrow is our Halloween Party and parade.  The parade will begin at 10:00, and will be followed immediately by the party.  We would love to have anyone come and help out.  I would recommend trying to get here a little before 10 because parking will be crowded.

The students are not to wear their costumes to school.  They need to bring them in a bag and change.  As previously stated in a letter from Mr. Smith, the costumes must follow the school dress code (no spaghetti straps or bare stomachs).  The students are not allowed to bring toy weapons, or have violent costumes.  If your child’s costume requires their hair and makeup to be done, please do that at home before school. 

Tomorrow is an early dismissal day (11:40 A.M.).  No lunch will be served.  If your child is going home on a different bus, or in a different way, please send a note to school.

If you have any questions please let us know!

WIN Time (Daily 5)

We have spent the last few weeks learning the routines, procedures, and expectations for the 5 choices during WIN time. 

WIN time is a literacy structure in which the students are participating independently in reading and writing, activities.

Here are some pictures from WIN time.

Each morning when the students come in, they chose their activities for WIN time.

 

Read to Self- Students read a just right book independently.

 Read to Someone - Students read with a partner using one of three methods: check for understanding, I read you read, or read two books.

 Work on Writing - Students can write stories, letters, songs, or poems.
















Word Work - Students practice their spelling words using a variety of fun activities 

 Listen to Reading - Students listen to Tumble books on the computers to help improve their fluency.  It is important for students to hear what fluent reading sounds like, so that they can model their own reading after it.
