Welcome to Ms.Greer's Class!

Valentine’s Day Party
Our Valentine’s Day party will be on Friday, February 15, at 11:45. Please help your child make a Valentine’s Day box for his or her cards. This can be as simple as a shoe box, or more elaborate if you would like. Please DO NOT label cards with names. It is much easier and quicker at this age if they can pass out a card to each student without finding that child’s box/name, etc… They can simply write who it is from and pass one out to each friend. The kids will exchange Valentines before the party begins. Please send the boxes and cards in no earlier than Monday, February 11th. You may want to put the cards in a Ziplock bag to send to school. Thank you so much! Our room mom, Jessica, has created the sign-up for us to help get what we need for our Valentine’s party. Please sign-up below: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080448A8AB2AA1FE3-valentines Sight Word Lists Just wanted to put out a few reminders about our sight words lists. These lists are to help each child learn their sight words at their own pace. If you will please work with your child on the list they are on, and send it back when they know them, I would greatly appreciate it. If you need a new list, please let me know! I also pull out lists and test them on Fridays only. I also will not test a student without a signed list. I want to make sure they have practiced them with you and you can verify they know the list before I test them here at school. Please let me know if there are further clarifying questions on any of this!

100th Day
Our 100th day of school will be next Tuesday, January 29th. We will do different activities all day involving the number 100. Thank you for helping us out with the 100 piece snack, that is always a fun part of our celebration! Snack Monday- Logan Tuesday- Luke Wednesday- Blake/Kyanna Thursday- Noah Friday- Bentley Upcoming Events January 25-Tiger Pride Assembly @ 2:30 January 29- 100th Day of School School Wide Book
Last week, students came home with the book, The Enormous Egg. This is a school wide book, where every family gets a copy and can read it together at home. In February the school will be having a Family Reading Night celebration where you can come and join in on the festivities centered around reading the book. The book fair will also be during that week. Reading Groups We began guided reading groups this week! Each group will meet twice a week for reading instruction. Some students will go to Mrs. Dickinson and Mrs. Woods for reading groups. I am very excited to begin groups. It is fun to see the growth in reading. Working on sight word lists at home will help your child in their guided reading group. The goal for the end of the year is for students to master all 10 lists! Math You may have noticed, students have not been completing all of the pages on their math papers. We are working on addition and learning in ways other than paper and pencil. We are acting problems out, using manipulatives, and telling addition stories. You are welcome to do the problems at home, but no need to send papers back to school. Thank you! No School There will be no school on Monday, January 21st. Enjoy your three day weekend!

If you are taking your child home from the assembly, students will walk back to the music room with Mrs. Kuchta (they are in music class when the assembly begins) and you can let Mrs. Kuchta know you are taking them home. The class takes their backpacks with them to music on assembly days, so you will not need to walk down to our classroom for their things.

We encourage you to invite any Veteran you may know to come celebrate this special day with us! Outdoor Recess As the cold weather is finally here to stay, a little reminder to send those warm jackets and coats for outdoor recess. They are also welcome to bring hats, gloves, and scarves to help keep warm! Our school policy is that we go out unless it is below 32 degrees, or 25 degrees with the wind chill. Book-It Reading Calendars I sent home the November Book-It reading calendar last week. Please return these as close as to the last day of the month as possible. I want to make sure everyone has an opportunity to get their free pizza, but when random ones come in late, sometimes I miss them. They also need to have your child’s name and be signed by the parent or guardian who has been reading with them. This tells me they did not just color in the pictures themselves and turn it into me:) Please let me know if you need any further clarification on this!

Sight Words Sight words are a great start to reading in Kindergarten! Today, I am sending home List One of sight words with your child. These are to be practiced at home. When your child has mastered that list, you may send it back to school in their orange folder. There is a place to sign at the bottom. On Fridays, I will sit down with them and go over the list here at school only if the list has been returned with a signature. If they pass that list, I will then put a new list for them in their folder to practice. They can and should move at their own pace! Our goal is that by the end of the year, they will have all 10 lists mastered for Kindergarten. Let me know any questions you may have on this!
