January 19-23

Please look at the conference schedule that is on the left.  If you have any conflicts let me know ASAP!

Reading:  We are loving our Mo Willems author study.  He is so entertaining and inspires the kids to read and write!  We will write our opinion about the best Mo Willems book next week.   In the meantime, ask your child if he would let the pigeon drive the bus!

Writing:  We are working on opinion writing and narrative writing.  We are focusing on making sure that there are no capital letters in the middle of our sentence.  We also learned that "baby i" never goes walking alone.  It needs to be a capital letter if it is a word!

Math:  We are working on number bonds and number stories.  We are really working on counting to 100!  We can't wait for our 100th day of school celebration!!!

Social Studies:  We read a lot of books about MLK and will continue to learn about his work in February when we learn about Rosa Parks and Ruby Bridges.

Today we had a lock down drill.  It went well and the kids did a great job sitting quietly until we got the all clear.  Next time we will not have a warning that it is happening, but I am confident that the kids will do great!  I simply stated that sometimes it is safer to go outside, like during a fire drill and other times it is safer to stay inside.

If you have not already signed the permission slip for Young Athletes, please do so.  If you have not already offered to help with our 100th day party, please consider donating part of the snack or part of your day to help us out!



Upcoming Dates:
February 5: 100th day celebration
February 12 and 13:  Half days for parent teacher conferences
February 16:  Presidents Day-No school
February 21:  Fun Fair and Silent Auction!!  Please pay attention to information coming home about the major fund raisers of the year.   (Our own Room Mother, Kim Vander Griend is coordinating the silent auction!  Let's represent, Room 116!)
