Classroom News 

Word Study:
Kindergarten: we, it, and, up
1st Grade: had, they, will, too, all

Writing: Last week we set goals for our writing and the class blew me away with how hard they focused on accomplishing them. They were very excited to share their work with the class and we all celebrated the writing that was taking place. This week we will be focusing on writing about what we are thankful for and finishing up some of their pieces. 

Reading: This week we will be digging into solving tricky words in our reading. We will also be meeting with our 3rd grade Buddies for a fun read and turkey disguise! 

Researchers Workshop: We will conclude our Science Mystery Unit this week with a lesson on what plants need to grow. This unit has been a highlight at the end of the day for all students. They have had some awesome discussions throughout the past few weeks about how birds use their beaks for their particular prey, why a baby animal follows their mother, why camouflage is helpful to animals, why family members look alike, and why trees don't blow down in the wind.

What's new this week in Kindergarten? 

Math: We will continue to classify shapes and talk about where we see them in their environment. We will also have a fun math game day! 

What's new this week in First Grade? 

Math: We will continue to work on story problems where we need to identify which number is the unknown. They have been doing an excellent job using math mountains to figure out where each number should go. Ask your student to create a story problem for you to solve!

Upcoming Events:
November 27th - No School
November 28th - No School
November 29th - No School

Have a wonderful break!

2nd Day of School

Hello!  We have had so much fun the first two days of school.  We are learning each others names and getting to know each other.  We have been practicing routines in our classroom.  I can already tell it's going to be a great year :) Here is a 2nd day of school picture...(since we forgot a first day picture!) And a silly one...because that's the only way I could get them to all smile for the first one!  I hope that you are hearing great things at home too. As always if you have any questions, let me know. -Samantha

This year our NDLC and Quinney Council members have chosen to help out military personnel deployed overseas in honor of Adam Hall. Adam is a husband of Amber Hall, an educational assistant for NDLC and Quinney School. He is also the father of Oliver, a fourth grade student at Quinney, and Lilah, a second grade student at Quinney School. Adam's troop was recently deployed and will be gone for 12-14 months. We are looking for our Quinney and NDLC families to donate personal care items, snacks, or money. The monetary donations will be used to cover the cost of shipping and to purchase extra supplies. All items should be new and in original packaging. Thank you in advance for your help in supporting our troops. For item suggestions and to sign up, go to Sign Up Genius .

I am very proud of how well the students handled all of the safety drills we practiced last week.  They were very understanding when they were explained and brave when they practiced.  Of course, we hope we will only ever have to practice these things, but if a situation of any type (weather, fire, intruder) comes up we will be prepared. Classroom News Star of the Week: This week we will learn about Elise, Tristan, Yenghua, Hayes, and Ariyah. Word Study: This week we will focus on the letters a, g, d, s.  We will be working on handwriting and sounds. Field Trips: Thank you for getting field trip forms back!  I will be reaching out to chaperones for our Piggly Wiggly trip on October 1st tomorrow. Writing: In writing this week we are going to talk about telling our stories step by step and not missing any detail!  We will make our characters have feelings in our pictures and words.  We will also try to get more sounds in our words. What's new this w...
