Dear Parents,

With all of the troubles that we have had lately with technology, Mr. John Mrozinski has been doing a FANTASTIC job at solving all of our issues. If you see him, please give him a high-five, or a pat on the back (which I know will make him TOTALLY uncomfortable) as a thank you! He is awesome!  

The Pen Pal letters arrived at the other end (Fort Wayne, IN) and here are the firsties of Mrs. Scott’s class, checking out what OUR firsties wrote! 

So FUN!  I hope that with the remaining weeks that we have, we are able to communicate one or two more times.  

We have been working in pairs or groups more lately so that they can continue to practice our social skills!  (Sometimes being social is HARD!)  Don’t forget to remind them about SuperFlex and how we don’t want the Unthinkables (Rock Brain, Mean Jean, Topic Twister Mister, and Glassman) to get in the way of our learning and interacting with others!  

Did I tell you that I have Cardinal’s nest right outside my kitchen window?  It is like having the Nature Channel on all the time!  It is SO NEAT! There are babies (I think two) and both the mom and the dad have been helping to feed them.  Hopefully as the babies grow, I will be able to see them better and snap a picture! 

This week the spelling words are a little different adding ed and ing to words.  We talked about it today but as a reminder, if the word ends with an e, and you need to add ed, you will drop the first e, before you add the ed.  If the word ends in an e and you need to add ing, the e gets dropped.  If the word ends with a consonant and you need to add ed, the final consonant gets doubled before you add the ed.  Same thing when adding the ing. Whew!  I hope that makes sense! (First grade grammer….ugh….!)

Blessings your week my friends,

Miss Gallagher
