Biographies

We are continuing our study of people and biographies.  During class we are compiling a report to present sometime during the week of April 16 - 19.

Hoping for Better Weather!

As we hope for warmer weather I know that the kids may be up a bit later and even more active than usual.  Here's my reminder to remember to continue to allow for good sleep even though it's SO difficult to go to bed when it's light outside!  This is a tough parenting time but rest assured, you won't regret staying the course so that your child is well-rested.  The contrary isn't very pleasant as all of you have experienced at some time or another, I am sure.  GREAT JOB PERRYDALE FAMILIES!! 

5-2-1-0 CONTINUES...

The students are very excited about the new healthy program that Perrydale has launched this week.  Your child may bring back his/her fruits and vegetable log on Monday and receive a new one with the weekly homework.  All of us want to live longer and have healthy hearts!  The kids are only as excited as you help them to be at home.  Thank you for jumping on board this great healthy lifestyle!  You won't regret it!!

BIOGRAPHIES

This week during class we will be learning and studying about people who influenced our lives.  We will be compiling information and be presenting reports during class either at the end of the week or possibly into next week.  Each person will do research during class and present a small poster that he/she makes and deliver the report to the class.  I am so thrilled that the kids want to present to each other.  These reports will help them be more and more comfortable being up in front of others.  Keep in mind that everyday the kids stand and share their writing with the class.  They don't even realize that they give mini-reports each day while doing this exercise.  Your child is growing so much!  

Assessments

I am very proud of the students for really focusing in and working hard to improve in reading.  We are not done yet, folks.  We are now on the downhill side of the school year but this is an important time for the children to really demonstrate a lot of growth.  Our hard work is paying off the kids are really flying in their reading achievement!  Please continue to go on Raz-Kids.com as well as do the nightly reading take home books!  Your help will help your child continue to make great strides this year and be ready for second grade!  I am so proud of your child and the hard work he/she is doing!!

Introducing Miss Feller

Hello!
I'm very excited to be student teaching in 1st grade! Previously this year I spent time as part of the 3rd grade classroom at Perrydale and am pleased to be a part of this school community. During the next 11 weeks I will have a variety of responsibilities, leading to three weeks of full-time teaching. I look forward to learning and growing with this class!
