Hello families,
This week I got a chance to finish reading one-on-one with our class. I love doing these reading check-ins and getting to meet with each child individually. Everyone has been working hard and making great reading progress! I'll be using this information, as well as classroom observations, when writing our 1st semester report cards. These will be sent home on January 27th.
In writer's workshop we finished illustrating our star myths. Then the class worked together to write about our process so we can tell the school about it. We are presenting our project and sharing two of our books at next week's All School Meeting! These great books will be sent home after that. Hopefully you got a sneak peek by reading your child's first/edited draft that was sent home earlier this week! If you're free, join us at the All School Meeting next Thursday!
On Thursday and Friday we read about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and about the hard and important things he did to make our country a better place. We talked about things we can do to make life better for ourselves, for the world, and for our community. We wrote our own dreams for how to make the world better. These "I Have a Dream Catchers" will be hung up on the boards outside our room next week--check them out!
This Friday (tomorrow) is our first Winter Wellness Day. Our schedule will be pretty different on Fridays during this time! Our morning will be the same (Arrival, Morning Meeting, Buddies, Snack, Literacy, Read Aloud, Spanish) but then we'll have lunch in our classrooms from 11:30-12:00. Since we're eating in the classroom please try not to send peanuts or tree nuts on Fridays for lunch. After lunch we'll get packed up and ready to board buses at 12:45. We'll be at our Winter Wellness/Fitness Friday activities for the remainder of the school day. We'll be returning to Rumney just before dismissal for the usual bus, CC, or pick-up routines. If you are chaperoning and want to pick your child up at the activity location please let Ms. Matthews and Mrs. Danyew know this ahead of time by emailing the new rumney attendance email address, RMSattendance@u32.org
Here are our activity groups:
Snowshoeing: Myles, Adam
Skating: Alyson, Chase, Courtney, Willoughby, Ira, Chloe, Lilly, Olivia (all skaters must wear a helmet)
Swimming: Juliana, Benicio, Erin, Franki, Cooper (all swimmers must bring a swimsuit and towel--to save time students may wear swimsuits under their clothes at school that day but then be sure to pack underwear in the swim bag for changing into dry clothes after swimming)
For the weeks we have our Fitness Fridays I'll be posting our news on Thursdays instead--our Fridays will be full of other activities! Have a great long weekend and I'll see your great kids back on Tuesday!
💗 Mrs. Fox
