Good afternoon,

I hope everyone had a good weekend. This week:

• There is no school tomorrow (Tuesday) for students.
• Black History Month projects are due Wednesday. Students must turn in the completed Notes packet AND have some type of presentation (poster, slide show, book, etc) for the class.
• We are starting module 5 in math. Module 5 homework books are coming home today. This week we are doing lessons 1-4.
• Today your child is coming home with a book bag (gallon ziploc). In this book bag is the two usual phonics readers they get every Monday and one other book at their current reading level. These three books are to be read at home all week. The two phonics books are for you to keep, the third book must be returned each Friday. I have also included a comprehension bookmark in the bag. It has some helpful questions to ask your child while reading. These questions can be used with any books anytime you read. Remember, each Monday they will get three new books in their book bag. Every Friday their book bag is due with the book at their level, the two phonics books stay at home.
• February reading logs are due Monday. March reading logs and weekly writing topics will go home Friday.

Have a lovely week!

Tomorrow is the last day to turn in field trip paperwork.

Good afternoon,

I hope everyone had a good Valentine’s day and enjoyed their long weekend. Thanks for all my goodies and treats. You all made my day! 🙂 This week:

• Field trip paperwork is due this Friday. Thanks to those that have turned it in already. Please let me know ASAP if your child will not be attending.
• This week in math we will be finishing up module 4, taking our test, and starting module 5. Module 4 Apply homework books are due completed no later than Monday, the 24th.
• There is no school for students next Tuesday the 25th for teacher PD.
• Black History month projects are due next Wednesday the 26th. Remember, your child has to complete the Notes packet that was sent home AND make some type of presentation: poster, slide show, book, etc. Both parts must be turned in together. Your child will present their project to the class so they should practice at home.

Have a great week and stay warm!
