Welcome families to another great year! We have 11 returning Multiagers and 9 new fantastic students! We spent the first three days of school getting to know each other and learning/reviewing new classroom procedures. We discussed our first comprehension strategy "visualizing." We also began odd and even numbers & practiced using bar graphs. We learned how to use our new MEAD board. It is a wonderful new learning tool for our classroom. Be sure to stop by and check it out. This week I will be assessing each student in phonics, phonemic awareness, fluency, sight word recognition, & math skills. This will give me greater insight into each student's strengths & areas of need. We will begin our first poetry lesson, begin handwriting practice, start on leveled addition using dice, & begin our look at butterflies. Thank you for looking in your child's BEE notebook and signing it nightly. We were 100% for the first 3 days of school! YEA!! Our school wide Gorilla Pride assembly has moved from Monday's to Friday mornings at 8:00. Also making news last week was Tahlequah's API score from the State Department of Education. Greenwood scored a perfect 1500!!! Our faculty was so excited about the news! Have a great week! If you have any questions feel free to contact me. My scheduled planning time is 2:10-3:00 pm daily. :)
