We are quickly approaching our 100th day of school next Thursday (Feb.6th).

We will be celebrating in class with a couple fun 100th Day activities.

Below is a sign-up for donations. Most of the donations are for our special trail mix snack.

Students will be counting out 100 items to make their snack.

So when purchasing snack items keep in mind that each student (we have 16) will need 10 of the item you are purchasing. For example we will need enough goldfish crackers for each student (16) to have 10 each.

Thank you in advance!

Community Outreach

BAGS OF HOPE !

Our school will be collecting items to fill reusable bags and giving these bags to a homeless shelter in Detroit.  

Our class will be donating bar soap or granola bars.  We are requesting every student in our class bring in the above item by Wednesday, February 26, 2020.                        

Our Student Lighthouse Team will assemble the bags and take them to the homeless shelter.  Help us make this community service project a success!

What We Did This Week:

ELA:

Our new sight word is “to”

We worked in small groups. Each student should have some emergent readers in their reading bag to practice reading (with our new words). When students are reading please remind them to use their “reading finger”, and use the picture to help them decode unknown words.

Students should also have a “ring of words” in their reading bag. We will add to this as they learn new words.

Reading the alphabet chart and “bouncing” on the letter sounds is also good daily practice.

We have introduced last names as daily practice in class. You can practice this at home too!

Writing:

We introduced the “Magic C” letters using our chalk boards.

Math:

We continue to study counting by tens and writing teen numbers.

We will begin a basic addition and subtraction unit (putting numbers together and taking them apart).

Science:

In Science we observed the weather and recorded what we saw. We are becoming “weather trackers”

Have a great weekend!

(We missed library day Monday because of the holiday. We will go on the 27th)

Dear Families,

I’m excited to tell you about a very special program I’m coordinating at our school in conjunction with Crayola. It’s called Crayola Color Cycle – an amazing program devised to repurpose used markers rather than sending them to landfills! 

The Color Cycle program has repurposed more than 70 tons of expended markers in the United States and Canada since 2013, and uses the most advanced plastic conversion technologies available today to make wax compounds for asphalt and roofing shingles as well as to generate electricity that can be used to heat homes, cook food, and power vehicles.  

All around Lindbergh, students and teachers will be collecting used markers that are ready to be discarded. Please help support our efforts by sending your kids in with any used markers you may have around the house- even non-Crayola brands! Highlighters and dry erase markers can also be included. Drop-off boxes will be located in your child’s classroom for your child to deposit the markers. 

Thank you in advance for participating! With the help of parents like you across the country, the Crayola Color Cycle program can continue to keep tons of plastic out of landfills each year. 

Remember, don’t throw out that used marker—Color Cycle it! 

Sincerely, Mrs. Currie & the Green Team

Friday (the 24th) is Popcorn Friday!
