Farewell Matthew and Good Luck!

Fast Fact Reading Friday

Today was the first monthly Fast Fact Reading Friday. Each grade level was given a different skill to work on. The primary students had different "sight words" to practice, third grade had contractions labels, fourth grade had fact/opinion labels and fifth grade worked on homonyms. As a Reading Department we thought it would be quick, fun and educational. Here are some pictures of students and Mrs. Dermady. I harassed her because she had forgotten to give her kids their labels by 10am so by 10:30am she was ready and went above and beyond the calling for the activity.

Third graders had to either tell what contraction the two words created and spell it correctly or break apart the contraction and tell what two words it came from.

Fifth graders had to tell the difference between the two homonyms.

I am so happy that our first FFRF went so well!

Mary Marony and the Chocolate Surprise

We just finished reading Mary Marony and the Chocolate Surprise. We read, wrote and discussed the book. Since the kids worked so hard they were rewarded with a giant chocolate bar containing a golden ticket just like in the book. They were so excited their eyes bugged out of their heads!

Good work Chassattie, Torrie and Griffin!

Making Progress

We have been working diligently on ELA preparation and basic skills. Times have been challenging, but we haven't given up and today two of my students from Mrs. Peterson's Class finally got a 100%. I was so proud of them and quickly awarded them with some Smarties for my smarties!
