Science: Wood, Earth Science-landform characteristics
Writing: We are using all our new words (he, are, the, can, she, said, play, I, see, to, went, like, a, and, go, love, have, here, for) to write stories of at least 3-4 sentences with spaces in between each word. Now I am asking students to write more interesting stories.
Homework: The homework for the last 2 weeks will be reading and writing. This a model you can use over the summer. Be sure you read aloud to your child and also give your child time to read independantly. For writing, use a 3 step method. Step#1 Write as many things as you can think of for your topic. Step#2 Read it to others and see if there are missing words or whole sentences you can add to make your story more clear or more interesting. Step #3 Look for capitals, periods and words that need to be fixed. These 3 steps should be done on different days and may take up to 20 mins. per step. And the last step is to decide whether to publish it or not. If you child chooses to publish it at school he/she may choose to use a computer or make a traditional book. I will do my best to get these published to the blog. Please feel free to add your comments to our “authors”:)

Hellos and Goodbyes
Dear Parents,
My name is Ashlee Rose (Miss Rose) and I will be taking over Mrs. Wagner’s position on Monday February 4th 2008. I subbed for her in late November and had a wonderful experience with the class. I have also been spending the last week observing her, so the transition will be smooth and easier on your child. I feel extremely lucky to take over such a wonderful class. I was born, raised and continue to live in Lake Forest, California. Growing up my mother was a teacher and she was the main inspiration for the desire I have toward teaching. I have been helping in the classroom since I was in the fourth grade and have wanted to be a teacher since the earliest I can remember. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies and Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential with CLAD Emphasis from Cal State University, Fullerton. Before, completing my degree and credential I enjoyed teaching pre-kindergarten for two and a half years. I love teaching and find it so rewarding! It is an awesome feeling to watch children discover new and exciting things. I am thrilled to begin our journey of learning, success, growth and laughter. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. I will continue with Mrs. Wagner’s way of communication through e-mail. My e-mail address is: amrose303@hotmail.com Thank you,
Miss Roseamrose303@hotmail.com
Hey everyone,
Baby Wagner’s arrival date is fast approaching. My husband and I were so thrilled and overwhelmed by the generosity you all showed us through your gifts and well wishes. I will send word thru Ms. Rose as soon as baby comes. I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you what a pleasure it has been getting to know you and your children and I promise to drop by and visit often. Although you will definitely see me around, I do not plan to come back in any official capacity until next September. You are certainly in good hands. Ms. Rose is a perfect fit for our classroom and the children already love her. Even though there is still much to learn this year, your children are already reading and looking ready for first grade. Please continue to give Rm#3 all the support you have already established: completing homework on time, having your child read his/her little books to you daily and checking in on your child’s progress. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of your child’s Kindergarten year and feel free to email me (kids too) at ewagner@nmusd.us anytime!:)
Much Love,
Mrs. Wagner
