Dear Parents,
Our children have been very busy learning. They have improved in their reading so much ! Please make sure you are reading with your child each day and reviewing your sight words. This consistency really makes a huge difference in their performance in the classroom.
In math, we are learning how to add using Touch Math. This is a strategy that gives each number certain touch points. The student touches the touch points on the numbers instead of counting on their fingers. They are doing a great job with this strategy !
In writing, we wrote about our dogs. The students had to brainstorm and then write four sentences. We loved hearing about your family dogs !
Things to remember :
*We have Pizza Bingo on Friday night - January 27, 2017 at Lewis.
I'm happy that everyone is well and at school ! Mrs. Anderson and I love our school family !
Thank you,
Mrs. Lunceford and Mrs. Anderson

Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving ! I enjoyed my Thanksgiving in Hilton Head with all of my family.
I wanted to mention a few things :

This is a 5K race at the Marietta Square on December 10,2016. The school with most participants wins $500 ! Information will be sent home tomorrow. There is also a website : www.active.com . The proceeds benefit the Cobb County Bar Children's Emergency Fund. They help assist students and their families with emergency financial needs in Cobb County and Marietta City Schools. *Donations are tax deductible
2. Holiday Production at Harrison High School :
This is a field trip to Harrison High School to watch a drama program. The cost is $6. We will need the permission slip and donation by December 8th. Information will be sent home tomorrow as well.
3. Specials :
It seems that I mixed up the specials. I will have a new specials schedule in December. Here is the specials schedule for the rest of the week :

Dear Parents,
We have been busy learning this month ! We are reading sight words, sounding out CVC words - cat, met, sun, adding single digits and writing sentences. Please practice reciting your home address with your child each night. This is a kindergarten standard 😊.
We are having our Grandparents Thanksgiving Lunch on 11-16-16 at 10:55. The cost is $3.50. You will also have a chance to have a photo taken at school after lunch. The envelopes went home last week.
Since the smoke from the fires continue to hover near us, we will either not go outside or reduce our time outside. It will depend on the air quality.
Thank you,
Mrs. L. and Mrs. A.

Dear Parents,
This week we learned how to tell time to the hour, add two single digits, read sight words,and write simple sentences. We also learned about Christopher Columbus. They are bringing home their puppets today. We made them and acted out the story about Christopher Columbus. I have a video attached to my website labeled "Christopher Columbus." Please take a moment to watch the video and have them tell the story. They did a great job !
Have a great weekend !

Dear Parents,
I sent home information regarding Spelling City. Each student has a log in. Your child can play games with word families. It also has a vocabulary component. We use this website in class and the students are familiar with it. If you have any questions about the website, please let me know. I'll attach the website in my Menu.
The field trip was awesome and the kids had a wonderful time. I have some pictures to share. I'll send them to you when I get them organized :).
Please don't forget conference week is next week. School will end at 12:10.
Thank you,
Mrs. Lunceford and Mrs. Anderson

We had a great day of learning ! And .... we are so excited to have Anthony in our class !!
We have been learning about sorting shapes/colors, counting , how to make a graph with pattern blocks and learning the shape names. Here are some pictures of their "fun" creations.
August 29,2016
Parents please send in or email pictures that pertain to your child. I want to use them for our writing activities. If you email them, I can print them. Please don't send pictures you want back. I can also scan pictures and send them back. Whatever works for you ! I always believe that students will write about personal experiences. Since they are still learning how to write, Mrs. Anderson and I will give them a word bank to help them write. So, family pictures will help us stimulate some vocabulary. Any pictures will do ! Thank you so much !

We had a great day of learning !! In Math, we are learning about shapes - circle, square, trapezoid, hexagon, and diamond. The students also sorted and counted M & M's. They had to tell us which color they had the most and least of. We are still working on counting and recognizing numbers up to 20. In Reading and Writing, we are re writing the book ,My Dog, in our composition notebook with the corresponding pictures. Have your child practice writing each day, even if it is just one word. They can copy a book or a word list you created. It doesn't need to be difficult or perfect. 😊
Have a great night !

We had a great start to our school year. The students are getting into the routine 😊. They have formed their own little community. We are working on our friends' names .... and the teachers' names 😉.
We will start homework after Labor Day. I'll explain homework on our Homework page in September . And don't worry, it won't be difficult .
I will also post the websites and other links we use , so the students can have tools to reinforce what they are learning. If you know of any websites you use at home, let me know.
I'll post our daily schedule and a specials schedule. The specials schedule will help you determine how to dress your child each day. They do need sneakers for PE. They will run and jump quite a bit in PE. Also, please let your child wear cool clothing during these hot months. They can pack a light Jacket if they get cold in class.
We have had a few runny noses already , and a few absences. In school, we wash our hands frequently and discuss how to keep our hands away from our face. Please let me know if your child will be out due to sickness. You can send me a text or email. So far, everyone has been wonderful about letting me know. 🌞.
Thank you for letting Mrs. Anderson and I teach your child !
