Welcome to a New School Year!

We're so glad you've found our classroom blog - Welcome! 

September has been a wonderful month with the children as we have formed many new friendships and bonds. The kids have settled into the routines of school and arrive in the morning with smiles and readiness for a new day of learning.

We look forward to great things this year!  Mrs. Johnson and Ms. Santiago

Spelling Program

Our Spelling Program

Throughout the year the children will be studying words in a variety of formats. We will choose a variety of poems and draw our spelling words from them. In addition, we will study the phonetic structure of words by following a phonics-based program as well.

Words are chosen on Mondays and a pre-test is given to check their spelling knowledge. During the week we will do a number of literacy activities to reinforce our spelling and vocabulary skills. 

Spelling Poem for Week of September 29

(Words that are bold-face are the words to learn and study)

 A Poem Is a Little Path

A poem is a little path

That leads you through the trees.

It takes you to the cliffs and shores

To anywhere you please.

Follow it and trust your way

With mind and heart as one

And when the journey's over

You'll find you've just begun.
