Starting Monday we will have a student teacher in our classroom.  She sent home a note with the kids today to introduce herself.  Her name is Ms. Deutsch.  She will be observing the class for the most part, next week. Then she will gradually start taking over some of the instruction each day.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Coming next week as well...
We will begin our poetry unit.  This will take us at least two weeks!  It is very intensive with lots of Iowa Core Standards that need to be covered.  The kids will have things that they need to study off and on during this unit.

Our spelling and vocabulary will take on a different look for the next few weeks as well, as it won't be going with the stories in the Houghton Mifflin series.  The kids got their spelling words a few days ago, and will be getting their vocabulary on Monday.  Mrs. Mick's group will be using a vocabulary book for their assignments for the next few weeks.
