I am so grateful for all of you! I love all your kiddos and I feel so lucky to be their teacher. Thank you for entrusting me to help them grow, and for your continued support! I hope you all have a very safe and happy holiday! We will see you all when students return on January, 9th. There is no formal homework over the break. Please continue to work on reading and ask your kiddos those comprehension questions listed below :) Character Counts Monthly, students will learn about a new character trait. At the end of each month, one student from each classroom, whose behavior exemplifies the Character Trait of the Month, will be awarded a certificate and invited to the Character Breakfast with Mrs. Perez! It is Plato Academy’s expectation that as we continue to emphasize positive character traits we will only continue to improve. December's character trait is Kindness: Being nice and considerate towards others.

Dates to remember-12/22 - End of 2nd Quarter 12/25 - 1/5/18 ~ Winter Holidays January 1, 2018 ~ HAPPY NEW YEAR! 1/8 - Teacher Planning Day ~ No School for students 1/9 - Welcome back students & families! 1/25/18 - {Let's Do S'More Reading Night!} "On Track" to Literacy Success Here is a peek at when we return! Reading: In reading we will be looking at texts and how we can identify the main topics. We will use strategies such as using the text features, and asking questions along the way to help us with our understanding and comprehension. Reading Comprehension Questions -How is this story like any other story you know? -How is the setting (time and place) important to the story? -What words did the author use to describe the place? -Who is the most important character? -How does the author tell us about the character? -Which character changed int he story? How did he/she change? Writing: We have been working on how to look at our work and grade ourselves based on our "5 Star" rubric. We will continue to work on being better writers and self correcting our work. Math: We will be starting a new topic, where we will be subtracting fluently within 100. We will use the strategies we have learned thus far to be fluent in our subtracting. Science: We will be taking a look at how we use energy on a daily basis. We will be looking at heat, sound, and light. Social Studies: Happy New Year!! We will be taking a look at New Years and how people around the world bring in the New Year. A few reminders - -Please bring a filled water bottle. -I would suggest having your kids bring a Plato approved sweater or jacket, it tends to get a little chilly in our room! -If you are not buying a school lunch please bring a full lunch. Everyone should also bring a snack for our Morning Snack. -Remember your placards for dismissal, we are not able to release your child without them. If you do not have it, please come in and show ID to Ms. Riley so we can release your child to you. -Please remember to bring your V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N.folders every day.
