Spring Break!

Hello Families,

What a year it has been, thus far. Words cannot express this year, in a nutshell. As Spring Break comes along every year, it is always much anticipated, however it is somewhat bittersweet. Your sweet little ones came into our class, 7 months ago as young, scared, fresh out of Kindergarten-students. We are more than half-way through the year, and as we look around the room…we no longer see young, scared, Kindergarten students…but we see, smart, independent, loving almost 2^nd grade students.

 

This year has truly been a blessing. We have such a wonderful class, and so many unforgettable moments…and it’s not even over yet! We are full of so much PRIDE when we listen to the students read or as we watch them becoming little independent self-managers. We just wanted to take this time before we go into Spring Break to THANK YOU, from the bottom of our hearts, for ALL of your support and encouragement this year. We know that all of the parents have busy-lives, with a lot of things going on, and we know it’s not easy to stop your life to comment on the blog, or email me, or just be so actively involved…but you all have, and that’s what counts. Being a teacher is full of ups and downs, challenging and rewarding moments. Having the support of your parents, and the respect and love of your students makes the experience as a whole uplifting and 100% worthwhile. Words cannot express our “thanks.”

 

Over Spring Break, please continue to read with your child, and go over the high-frequency word list, because when they come back from Spring Break we are putting it into high-gear, and diving in the material head first. Your support with their reading and math skills makes all the difference; even if you don’t notice it…you can take our word for it, it makes such an impact!

 

Thank you!

Mrs. Ramirez & Ms. Bladon

3-D Shapes, Paint, and Double Mystery Readers

We had such a busy and fun Thursday! We planned our geo animals out, and explained the features of each 3-d piece. Then we put our smocks on (myself included) and started painting! We also had back to back mystery readers, which was so awesome! One more day... Until Spring Break!

Almost Spring Break!

We've had a fun and eventful week- from experimenting with bones, to second opinions, to talking about a scary disease, to coming together to raise money for this event! We were also proud of our VFW and facetimed a student who was out sick. We will also start geo-animals tomorrow! We also had back to back mystery readers. Love these darlings. Check out some pictures!

Catch Up!

WOW! I just looked and noticed I haven't updated the blog for a little while...I am so sorry! We have been non-stop and busy. We went on a field trip, and the weather was absolutely perfect. I have adored hearing all of the stories today about their experience at the zoo. Here are some pictures I snapped, in addition to some photos that were sent to me from some parents.

I put this in the newsletter, but just to say it again... we will be keeping their spelling and vocabulary words the same for next week, as we had a stomach bug, and a field trip going on this week! We can ues the extra days next week to review, and test on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday we will begin constructing and planning our geo-animals. We are still in need of soda cans, soda bottles, and cereal, straws, and cereal boxes.


Enjoy these pictures, and a few videos from this week.
