Parrot Birthday & Holiday Fun...

It seems like not a week can go by that we don't celebrate a Parrot Birthday... this time it was Isaiah's birthday. We've also had some special visits by Santa Parrot... look what he left for us!

Happy Birthday, Isaiah...

Looks like the Rm 131 flock has come "HOME"!

Santa Parrot was busy hanging stockings in Rm 131 tonight! Mrs. G and Mrs. P are looking forward to all you parents sending in some "goodies" to stuff them. A letter went home today describing the holiday activities we will be enjoying next week. Please read it and be sure to help us by sending in some needed items.....

Busy Week in Parrot-dise...

We have had a very busy week in Rm 131. Two days we took the Duval County Benchmark Tests in Reading and Math. This week we will be taking a Writing Field Test that will be scored by the county. It will give us an idea of how well we are prepared for the State Test at the end of February.

In Reading, we are working on the skill of Inference. This is an important one to understand as we get into higher level novels. We have had to do quite a bit of inferring during our Read-Aloud, "The Christmas Spurs".

In Math, we have started Division. We have also been working on multiple step word problems.

The parrots were filled with Beauclerc Spirit on Friday with all of our stuffed animals. They were so quiet and well behaved as we took our Benchmark Test! We also had a "Mystery" visitor on Friday. She answered questions and spoke about how actions can tell us about the traits of a character in our writing... but most importantly, she shared some experiences that gave her an opportunity to develop strong character.... remember.... "Strong Character is doing the right thing even when no one else is watching you"!

It was another great week for the "Parrots"...

Mrs. G and Mrs. P have some fun holiday activities planned for the week of 12/12. A letter will be going home Monday to tell you what you can do to help!

STAR Parrot......

Congratulations, Aaly'sia.....
