What we've done this week...

This week we have been reading the decodable book, "The Nap". Our new sight words this week were they and be. We studied presidents most of the week, and briefly touched on dental health. We are working on our writing every day, and the more practice the better. Encourage your child to write anything and everything they see and think. Copying words from around the house, or out of books is an easy way for them to practice! Next week we will be studying Dr. Seuss!

Dear Families,
Throughout this school year I have been battling with a thyroid condition, as well as a parathyroid lesion. It has taken a toll on me, making me sleep longer hours, without the benefits of feeling rested among many other symptoms. I will be going out for surgery on Tuesday, February 26th, and will be out for recovery through March 8th. During this time Mrs. Kerr will still be in class, and our sub will be Ms. Rering as she has subbed most days I have been out this year. Please feel free to talk with Mrs. Kerr or Mrs. Rearing about any concerns while I am out. Thank you for your patience and understanding, it has been a rough year health-wise, but I know I will be feeling better as I recover. ~Mrs. Kime

Next week is Hundreds Day!!

We will be celebrating 100s Day on Wednesday, February 27th by dressing up as 100 year old people. Please help your child to find something to wear if they choose to participate in this event, it should be lots of fun! We will spend our day surrounded by 100s activities.
 

NO SCHOOL MONDAY-PRESIDENT'S DAY

What we've done this week....

This week we have been reading the decodable book, "Sam and Matt". Our new sight words this week were with and his. We studied Valentine's Day all week, looking at the human heart and what it does for our bodies on an online program called BrainPop, we made all kinds of fun crafts, we did some fun stretches in PE and even learned how to do a wheelbarrow walk, among many other things! Next week we will be studying dental health and presidents, oh so fun!

Dominik, Alana, Hauna & Arabella all knew every sight word at the end of the 2nd quarter! Nice job owls, you have obviously been practicing, and this is exactly what you need to read, read, read!!

Lizzy, Hauna & Sadie have now written to 1000! Great job girls!!
To our wonderful classroom volunteers: Thank you to those od you who have been able to come in and help with art, (and whatever else we ask of you!), it hass been a rough time for all with illnesses, and for us in the class as we have had changes in our schedule that were unavoidable. We are now teaching art at 11:20-12:00. I am sorryif this time doesn't work for you, but we would be happy to have you come in at another time to work with kids, or doing other prep items, call/email me if interested or need to discuss. Thanks!

Valentine's Day Party

Please have your child finish their valentines asap so they can bring them in
before Valentine's Day and stuff them in students Valentines boxes, as it is too much for all of them to do it in one day. We will be having an ice cream sundae for our party and will be needing the following supplies:
1 party tub of vanilla ice cream
1 jar of chocolate topping
1 jar of strawberry topping
1 large can of whipped cream
22 paper bowls
22 spoons
Please let us know asap if you can bring one of these items so we don't duplicate. Thanks!

We also had a very special day on Thursday where community members got to see what great students Owls are! See more about that below! It was another great week full of sunshine. (:

Thank you to our community, and to Alana!

I would like to express my gratitude to Daryn and Alice Farmer from Daryn Farmer State Farm Insurance, Dr. Doug Walker of the Eye Center of Brookings, Wilder River Pizza, Pepsi Bottling Co., Dutch Bros., Kevin Bane and Kury Radio, and most of all, Alana Hart for honoring me with the Teacher of the Month Award. We wnjoyed a wonderful lunch of pizza, veggies, fruit (thanks Mrs. Kerr!), and drinks on Thursday from the sponsors above. I also received 2 $25 checks which I will use for some new classroom games and materials, and Alana received a Dutch Bros. gift certificate. What a great day!
