Book Character Dress Up

So many students dressed up for book character dress up day! Mrs. Parfitt and Mrs. Fazio gave students who did not dress a retelling mask so that everyone could participate in the character parade. Take a look at all of our characters!

Vocabulary Dress Up Day

Sorry this didn't make it up earlier. I guess I hit "save" instead of "post." Oops! Anyway, check out all of our costumes on vocabulary dress up day. Mrs. Fazio and I dressed alike and our word was "similar." Unfortunately, we got so busy we forgot to take a picture of ourselves.

Don't worry if your child didn't dress up. We found vocabulary words for every child using the outfits they had on!

Million Minute Marathon

The district is celebrating the “Million Minute Marathon” along with the state during the Just Read, Florida Week this week. As a part of our contribution, the district and state are asked that students are provided with an opportunity to read an additional 20+ minutes during the day. The goal is to reach 1 million minutes of reading state-wide. 

Today, we did just that! Student sat in the hall with their fellow kindergarteners and read for 20 minutes. Check it out! 

News from Mrs. Parfitt

Each morning we give students a "secret sentence." They need to use a combination of sight words, decodable words, picture clues, context clues, etc. to figure out the sentence.

Yesterday, students had a very special sentence to figure out. The sentence was, "Mrs. Parfitt is going to have a baby!" They immediately asked if it was true (sometimes we make up silly sentences that are not true) and it is! I am so excited to finally announce that I am expecting a baby this June!

My due date shouldn't effect the school year in any way, but I will be getting MUCH bigger!!

Polar Express Day

We had such a wonderful Polar Express Day! We want to thank you all again for all of your donations. The kids had a blast! It was a great way to end 2013 with them.
