We had a great week in the classroom and enjoyed our routine!
Reading: We took a few summative assessments this week on different literature standards. The kids did great! We will continue to work on retelling stories and making connections between words and pictures.
Math: We continue to work on number bonds to 5 and counting by 10s. We are also working on story problems and writing equations to go with them.
Writing: We continue to work on opinion writing. Next week we will begin reading a bunch of Mo Willems books and learn some of his strategies for writing great books. At the end of this author study we will write an opinion piece about which Mo Willems book is our favorite and tell why.
Science: We never got started on the Water and Weather unit. Those snow days put us behind!
100th day: Hopefully the hearts came home in decent shape and your child is excited about collecting 100 awesome things! Have fun! The heart can be returned whenever it is completed. You also should find a list of requested snack donations for that day in your child's folder. Please consider donating a box of cereal or other treat.
Book Order: Use the link to the left to order books from Scholastic. The fliers went home in folders today. We are officially half way through winter...which means we still have half of winter left. That's a lot of extra time for reading!
Upcoming Dates:
January 16: Institute Day- No school for students
January 19: MLK Day-No school
February 5: 100th day celebration
February 12 and 13: Half days for parent teacher conferences
