Good Evening,

What an amazing weekend! Between the weather and time with my boys... I am truly blessed.

This week is Spirit Week in Hilton. Homecoming is fast approaching, so just as the high school prepares for this annual event, so do the elementary buildings.

Monday is Dress Like A Friend Day or Twin Day.
Tuesday is Wear Mismatch Sock Day.
Wednesday is Dress Nice for Open House.
Thursday is Fun Glasses Day.
Friday is Cadet Day, dress in Hilton colors.

 I apologize for this coming so late for those of you who like to plan far ahead.

Please see events to know what is coming this week.

Good evening,
Your children came home today with a spelling list... This is meant to give them reinforcement with words we are working on in class. As I have reflected with what would provide the best assessment for word study, I have decided not to do weekly quizzes. Instead, I will use the word work students do in class, during centers, to assess how their spelling is progressing. If you have questions please contact me.

Remember that Wednesday is a half for our kids.  Enjoy your week!

Good Evening!
Tomorrow is physical education for us, so please have sneakers on for ease of transitioning to our special. 

Thank you for helping your child get their homework sheets back. You can expect those types of assignments twice a week for practice. Next week I will be sending home spelling lists with your child. If you can practice those words with them, that would be terrific. We will have quizzes on Fridays.

I am staring to update this blog to contain more information for you.  Stay tuned... 

Have a great night!

Heat Wave!

Wow! Was it ever warm today!! If you are able, please have a cold water bottle for your child tomorrow.  The room is ridiculously warm, and they need refreshing drinks. Your kids are an absolute joy to me! Everyday I see new growth and so much happiness in them.  Have a wonderful evening!

Our First Week!

Wow, what a whirlwind! The students were able to learn routines.  They all shared the memory bags. Seeing their favorite memories was endearing.  The students practiced writing  numbers and their names. We looked inside our names to find other words, too!

Enjoy your weekend. 

Remind 101

Please remember to sign up for remind 101 on your phone, if applicable, so that I can send quick messages. Thank you!

We are settling in well. The morning routine is being learned fast. All the kids did amazingly well browsing books with a partner.  Our walking in the hall is improving.  During S.S. we sat in a circle and got to know one thing about everyone.  Have a great night!

Today was fabulous!! You have amazing kids, and they kept me smiling all day! They will have one short assignment tomorrow.  It is to put three things that bring back a special memory for them.  Each child will get a brown bag with special instructions about what to put inside.  Ask your kids about our day and routines. Some examples of questions are:
1. Why will you be picking up a rock in the morning?

2. What is your morning routine?

3. What do we have for special on Wednesday?

4. Who is our p.e. teacher?

5. How do you say your teacher's name?

Have a great night!
