This week

I will be returning to school tomorrow! I’m sorry I was out. That wisdom teeth surgery was no joke. lol

This week will be a little different due to early release and my absence.

Early release tomorrow at 11:30 for PLC training for teachers. Student will release at 11:30. No Boys and Girls club. PLEASE make changes in transportation notes in the planner.

100th day of school on Tuesday the 29th (will be needing a little help from my friends to donate)I will do a sign up for a few fun things that I will be needing for our 100th day of school soon!!!

Feb 1st- CHAMPS Assembly when we are on stage!! 8:00am

Valentine’s Day Party on the 14th (will also be needing a little help).  If there is anyone willing to head up the Valentine’s Day Party please let me know!!!! This one is less maintenance because of all the valentines they can read.

Spelling:  We will be having a spelling test on Thursday with these words–will, each, about, how, up, out, them, then, she, many. 

The new spelling words for the next two weeks will be– some, so, these, would, other, into, has, more, her, two.  Please remember to practice these words having fun!  Also all words learned before are held accountable in independent writing and spelling tests for spelling grades. The more hands-on you make these words the more concrete they become.

Phonics:  We have covered so much the past few weeks. We will continue to work on vowel teams, blends, vowels– both long and short, word families, etc… We will begin nouns, adjectives, and verbs over the next few weeks.

Math:  The focus over the next two weeks will be telling time (hour and half hour) and fractions.  We will always continue focusing on addition, subtraction, and word problem strategies.  Please work on plus 1 and minus 1 with your babies.  We will also be touching on counting coins in the very near future so if you want a jump start go ahead!   🙂

Writing: Our focus is on story elements (beginning, middle, end, characters, problems, solution) and punctuation.  They are improving so much on their stories.  Writing is hard because there is so much to remember but I am so proud of them!!!

Science/Social Studies:  Arctic animals and Arctic climate! We will be learning and having fun over the next few weeks.
