Welcome Back! I hope you were able to have some fun and downtime this past week. Now back to the routine while the month of February comes to a close.

Spelling words this week focus on “oi” and “oy”:  oil, moist, broil, toy, royal. Dolch words: right, white, these, made, walk

Our reading strategy for the next couple of weeks will focus on recounting/retelling (events in order). Folktales and fables will be used so students are introduced to some stories they may not have read or heard before.

The writing focus will then be on writing their own narrative story again focused on writing events in order.

The next math unit this week will revisit adding and subtracting 2 digit numbers using an open number line and other strategies that could be used to adding 2 digit numbers.

Social Studies begins a unit on How Do People Work Together in a Community? This week scarcity and making choices is the focus. The vocabulary word “opportunity cost” will be taught–it is just the thing or choice given up or not chosen when we make a choice to buy something because we can’t have all we want.

We’ll have a Reading assembly this week on Tuesday and the District wide Pennies for Patients program will begin on Friday.

We are also down to one last box of kleenex. If you have a spare box at home and wouldn’t mind donating it to the class, it would be much appreciated. The colds and runny noses used all the other boxes up 🙂

Enjoy your week!
