100 Days of Awesomeness!
We had a wonderful party yesterday. Thank you to all the parents who came in and helped or sent in supplies. It was a great way to start the day and the week.
PLEASE-do yourself a favor and look at the pictures that Kelli Harsch, Isaac's mom, took during the party. She is a great photographer.
Reading: We are working on identifying main idea and details when we read non-fiction books. We are beginning a Mo Willems author study as well. We love Mo Willems!
Writing: We continue to work on our How To books during writing. This week we will learn that we can use Mentor Texts to make our writing even better!
Math: Apart from celebrating the number 100 for the last few days, we have also wrapped up a short unit on comparing numbers and comparing sets. We are beginning our addition and subtraction unit and will be focusing on decomposing and composing numbers to 10.
Upcoming Dates:
February 14th: Valentines Day-If your child is bringing Valentines, make sure there is one for everyone. We will have a new student, Kai, joining our class at some point this week or next. PLEASE make sure that he has Valentines as his first day will likely be before Valentines Day. There are now 22 students.
