The students are becoming stronger readers by learning the sight words we have introduced in class and in flashcards in the homework packet.  Here is an updated list of the words they are reading and and using in their writing.

They are reading and learning to write  short sentences such as:

I can go to the store. 
It is up in the plane.            
I like to eat hot dogs.        
He is at my house.

The spring is a time when they make tremendous growth.  Please continue to work at home and praise there hard work and successes.

Field Trip on Thursday, Feb. 23rd!

We will be taking the class to The Fort Museum of Science and History on Thursday. Parents that have already paid will have a ticket with our group at a discounted price.  If you did not pay ahead of time, we would still love to have you join us by purchasing a ticket at the door.  Students will need a sack lunch that day.  We will leave around 9:15 and return before 2:00.  We will not be allowing them to go into the gift shop area, so there is no need for them to bring any money.  We are all looking forward to a wonderful trip.
