Hello Parents!
Hello February– time to change the calendars, again!
Our Hive Plans:
Spelling: (suffixes, ing, ed, er, and est) Our words are: looked, looking, talked, talking, joked, joking, fastest, faster, biggest, bigger and our bonus words are: stopped, having, making. Our silly sentence is: The biggest and fastest runners were joking around and almost crashed.
Reading: Fiction: Identifying causes (Why did it happen?) and effects (What happened?) within a story.
Math: Completion of Module 4 this week and a planned assessment will probably be on Friday. Keep your eye on your child’s planner. Please continue to practice the addition and subtraction strategies at home—-overall the children are doing well.:)
Writing: Finishing with our informational/research piece of writing on an animal of choice. These will be displayed in the hallway upon completion. We will also be working on a piece for the Brainstormers‘ Assembly. .
Science: Plants
Now for our tidbits:
Math Night: TONIGHT, Monday, February 3rd from 5:30-6:30
Late Start: Wednesday, February 5th
100th Day of School: Thursday, February 6th. I sent a note home, but just a reminder that your child may come to school dressed as a 100 year old. Have fun being creative!!!! Also, to help celebrate our 100th Day, we are making a special snack. Each child has been asked to bring in 100 pieces of a small snack (goldfish, mini pretzels, popcorn, cereal, etc…) in a baggie on Thursday. We will combine all our “treats” and then share them Thursday afternoon. They have fun sorting, creating math problems and then of course, devouring them.:) Thank you in advance for your donations!!!!!
Collection boxes for “Pennies for Patients” will continue to be collected.
That should do it for now, until my next post.
Here’s to a great week!
Fondly,
Mrs. Burke
