Week #4

Hello all-

We have been going full bore in the classroom. We've been working very hard on Phonics, Math, and Reading stories. Today was International Dot Day and we celebrated by creating Dot art. We read the book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds which is a very good book and listened to the "The Bouncing Dot". I'll post the link here.

Next week, on September 23rd and 24th we have Parent-Teacher Conferences, please be sure to send the sheet back in so you get the time you would like. Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks!

Next week...

Here are some pictures of us celebrating the end of the first week of school.

I sent home book orders on Friday, if you are going to order, please be sure to get it turned in by Friday or order online. Reminder, that I will also start sending home the homework folder on Monday. It needs to be turned back in on Friday morning. Thanks in advance for all your help. Any questions, please let me know. 

Introduction

Hi!

My name is Laura Kapaun and this is my second year teaching at Pingree-Buchanan. I graduated from Valley City State University with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Library Science and endorsements in ELL and Kindergarten and a Title 1 credential. In my spare time, I like to watch my brother play football at the University of Jamestown, watch TV, read, and spend time with my family. Please make sure to take a look at the blog to see what we've been doing in our classroom and look at the schedule when setting up appointments for your child. Please avoid taking your child out during Math and Reading. Any questions, please be sure to let me know! I am looking forward to getting to know you and your child.

Happy First Week of School!!

Week of March 2nd-5th

Hi all-

Congrats to all of the students that completed their February reading for Book-It! I have sent home the March Reading calendars and we've bumped up the reading to 23 days. It's not possible without support from home, so thanks in advance for all your help.

We won't be having school on March 6th. Have a great long weekend!

Any questions, please let me know.

Valentine's Day Party

Our class is having a Valentine's pary and card exhange on Friday, February 13th. I will provide the snacks. :)

Please create your box at home and bring it to school the day of the party. There are 15 students in the class and 1 teacher.

If I bring Valentine's cards to pass out, I must bring enough for everyone in the class.

Parents, to save on time, please have your child write his/her nae near "from" and leave "to" blank. This will make it so much easier to pass the cards out.

We are looking forward to a fun-filled day!

If you have any questions, please let me know.
