If you would like to help set up with our party instead, that would be perfect!! I know y’all love those sweet little Valentine’s but our cafeteria is only so big. Our party will start at 11:15. You can take them home after the party if you want to. There will be a sign out sheet by my door
.

Our Valentine Party will be this Wednesday, the 14th at 11:15. Set up begins at 10:45. We will be ready to party right after lunch. We hope you all can come. You will be free to check them out following the party. We made Valentine bag at school to collect our valentines.
This week in class:
Word work: Students will add verbs to their list of parts of speech. These will be related to the nouns and adjectives in their reading and writing.
Guided reading will continue. Please continue to read every night! And books from home may also be included on the log! Limit 2 spaces per night. They are working to fill those reading logs for that PIZZZAAAAA
Spelling/Writing: . New spelling words will come home on Monday and the test will be next Tuesday.
Words are: two, her, more, has, other, like, him, see, time, could. Parents, it is very important that students study these words at home as well as at school along with ones previously from the beginning of the year until now.
Math: Last week and continuing through the next couple weeks, students will be practicing time to the hour and 1/2 hour, identifying the name and value of coins, and problem solving with addition and subtraction. I encourage you to practice time on an analog clock and counting and naming coins.

Graded papers are coming home today. Please take time to go over these papers with your child for guidance and/or praise.
A Valentine’s Day Party note is coming home as well. If you plan to send valentines please be sure all 18 kids in our class receive one. Name will be on the note. First name only, is acceptable. Christy Clinnard is the room mother for this party and will be contacting her list of volunteers from the beginning of the year. If have any ideas, want to help, or want to send something you may text her at (903) 241-5544. THANK YOU CHRISTY!!!!!
Spelling words for the week: two, her, more, has, other
Continuing guided reading.
Science:The final week of penguin research is this week!
Math: We have been working on coins, and time to the hour HARD. We will begin time to half hour tomorrow. Anything you can do at home is helpful. Coins always get them and I think it’s because we don’t use cash and coins as much (thanks to the card) so if you have change anywhere, asking them to identify it and count it up will help them tremendously.
Writing: Adjectives review and adding into writing, along with the study of verbs being introduced.
