October 16th

I have a few thoughts for you tonight and the rest of the week.  These past two days have been busy as usual.  We have been working hard on our topic of animal homes and the -sh and -th sounds.  We have also been talking about the different kinds of graphs.  So far, we have made a bar graph and a graph with tally marks.  We will continue our graphing with picture graphs and tables.  We have also been reinforcing knowing those plural nouns that do not follow a rule.  I have been telling the kiddos these irregular plural nouns are just words you have to know.  Usually if you say the words to yourself you can figure out the plural form of a word.

Today we were fortunate enough to have some awesome sixth graders come to our room and help us learn about bullying.  We got to watch a skit and listen to a story that explains how bullying is wrong.  The kids were told, "Bullying is Wrong, Stand Up Strong!"  It was explained that even if you are meaning to just have fun and joke with someone, it is still wrong.  Making fun of someone or picking on someone does not follow our Oak Hill rule either.  Remember, cats are cool, they follow the golden rule!

Be extra careful when going through you student's backpack tonight.  The picture forms were sent home today.  Picture day will be October 26th.  You can do one of two things with the picture forms. You may send it back to school until picture day and I will hold onto it for you, or you may send it to school with your kiddo on the 26th.  It makes me no difference.

If you have any questions let me know!
Thanks and Go Cardinals!!
