Writing: We will be learning all about nouns and adjectives this week. The students will use Promethean flipcharts for a hands-on approach to the acquisition of these concepts. We will also be dabbling with them in our writing. Special Student: I wanted to let the entire Parker's Paradise family know about one special student. Alyssa had an unbelievable week last week! She has done something that no other student has ever done in my class. On Tuesday, Alyssa was chosen as Music Student of the Day. On Wednesday, she received the Awesome Exerciser Award at PE. On Thursday, she was chosen as the Artist of the Day in art and on Friday, she was chosen as Mrs. Spivey's Student of the Day for making a 100 on her spelling test and being kind to her classmates. Way to go Alyssa! We are all so proud of you!! There will be no reading homework tonight or on Thursday. Please have your child pick a book from home to read.
