Happenings in Room 32
We celebrated our 100th day of school on February 22nd. We stayed silent for 100 seconds, wrote about what we would do with $100.00, and completed a graphing activity. The sight words we have been working on are: came, after, just, make, before, one, school, then. In phonics, we are learning about long and short vowels, silent e, digraphs (ch, sh, th, wh), & contractions. For writing, we are beginning a unit on non-fiction writing. Our first piece will be "How To" stories. The students will have the opportunity to write about something they are an "expert" in and how to do that certain task. In reading, we are continuing with learning stations and guided reading groups. For math, we finished a unit on 3D shapes and weight. Our next unit is on adding and subtracting using different techniques.

It's A Boy!!!
Hello Everyone! It's Ms. Nizzardo. Mrs. Crenwick gave me her blog information so I can create postings. As you all know, Mrs. Crenwick had a baby boy on February 8th. Johnny was 6.5 lbs and the Crenwick family is so excited to welcome him. The students made cards and the messages were delivered to her in the hospital. Hopefully, I will get some pictures soon.
The students all seem to be adjusting well. We have been getting to know each other and establishing some new routines. Since we have had so many snow days our schedule was disrupted. I am glad for the full week this week! We have been working on long and short vowels and the past 8 sight words are: many, could, over, us, into, who, because, & too. Please make sure sight words are reviewed on a daily basis. I have been assessing their reading and each child will be getting new books for their book bag. In writing, we sent our Valentine letters in the mail and are currently working on story elements such as character, setting, problem & solution. For math, we began a topic on 3-D shapes. We are learning the names of the shapes and how to describe them.
We will be having our Valentine party on Monday, Feb. 14th. The students will have an opportunity to pass out their Valentines and enjoy a treat. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Please make sure to use my e-mail address: cnizzardo@monroeps.org
I look forward to working with all of you!!! Have a Happy Weekend!
