Welcome back!  Whether you traveled or stayed close to home, I hope you enjoyed your week.  We still have snow and cold outside so make sure your child dresses appropriately.  Boots are still needed for outside and shoes are needed for inside the classroom.  Have your child put their own shoes in their backpack at night as they are setting up) for school in the morning.  This helps them with responsibility.

READING-Our Theme for the next 3 weeks is WEATHER AND SEASONS.   This week’s unit is Kinds of Weather.   (There is a difference between “weather” and “temperature.”–Beware!)

Our words this week are:  This  this   Do  do

Our letter is “E  e.”   We will be working with the short  e sound, as in “egg   elephant”   and in the middle of words, like “net    ten.”

SPELLING-We will be working with the  “am” chunk.

__am     __am     __am       ram     Sam     ham

I will be checking for correct spelling on all previous weekly words.  (Last week’s words were for   you   are)  

WRITING-For the next 3 weeks we will  return to Narrative Writing.  We also will learn about  Onomatopoeias.  Stay tuned!

MATH-Since the 100th day of school is approaching, we will be working with the number 100.  We also will review pennies and nickels.  Let’s compare…who has more?  Less?  (Next week, the dime appears!)

SCIENCE-Weight and water will be our focus.

We had a great day on Friday, Feb. 14, celebrating St. Valentine’s Day.  The kids always enjoy delivering and opening all of their Valentines.  Such fun!  I will post some pictures later today.

Have a good week
