The K5 classes are going to Stephen Fite's Superheroes Of Knowledge Concert at Davis Theatre in Montgomery on Monday, Feb. 3rd. The performance will begin at 10:00. We are invited to dress the theme of the show, so your child can wear a Superhero t-shirt of their choice if they would like or you can be creative if you'd like to make a Superhero shirt. Please do not allow additional costume props for your child to keep up with on the trip. Pike field trip shirts are fine too. Chaperons/drivers for this trip are: Pam Benton, Amanda Vaughan, Ashley Shirley, Michelle Marsh, and Bonnie Simmons. I will let you know closer to time when we will depart from school. Everyone has paid for the concert. As soon as we have made lunch arrangements, I will inform you. We are considering Chick-fil-a again. It worked out well and the children enjoyed it! Will let you know soon.

Please sign and return report cards by Friday, Jan. 17th.

Our 100th Day celebration is coming up Tuesday, Jan. 28th. This day is filled with fun counting activities! I will be sending some information home in folders later this week concerning our fun day. Please mark it on your calendar, so every one is prepared!

We are busy working on many skills! In reading, we are working hard to sound out words and read fluently. Continue to practice all sight words on the blog list. You can also practice sound out words to help build confidence in reading. In math, we are adding up to sums of 5 and will be moving on at a good pace. Practice: problems with 0 and 1 rule and 2+2=4, 2+3=5. Look over daily work and reinforce skills at home if your child is having difficulty. The last part of the year is crucial in building confidence in math and reading so your child can be successful working independently in first grade. Remember, practice makes perfect!!!

The canned food drive will end Friday, so we only have a few days to get those cans in!

Monday, January 20th is a school holiday. Enjoy the long weekend :)
