If you have not already done so, please come and pick up your child’s math workbook which will be in my staff cubbie , outside of the office. There is a math packet inside the workbook, from which we work out of every day. Lessons in workbook go along with Math Packet.

Thank you!!

Stay tuned for the rest of the calendars and comments from me.

I accidentally gave you incorrect directions for Math Book…Please do up to end Of Module 4. Please stop at the beginning of Module 5.

Boy, do I have some readers and writers in here!! Things are really clicking, as they always do in the spring.

Have a lovely weekend.

“Love a little more each day.”

I rewrote the lyrics to “She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain” and used lyrics for the WATER CYCLE.

Sing along…

“Water travels in a cycle, yes it does.

Water travels in a cycle, yes it does.

It goes up as evaporation

It forms clouds as condensation

It falls down as precipitation

Yes it does!”

Happy Monday and Yippee for the warmer temperatures!

Please take time each day to review the SPELLING WORDS for this week. Fridays will be our SPELLING TEST day. Help your student be successful by reviewing the words each night. Have them spell the words back to you AND write the words. Sometimes students can spell/say the word, but don’t know how to write the word. Also, for the word “he,” make sure your child is writing an “h” and not and “n.”

Thanks.

Happy Birthday today, March 2 to Dr. Geisel, aka “Dr. Seuss. (It’s also one of my daughters’ birthday and she NEVER cared for Dr. Seuss’ books because they didn’t make sense to her. ) Students will bring home something tomorrow about Dr. Seuss.

Creating number sentences to go with Subtraction Problems today was a little rough. I told them that Subtraction always starts with the biggest number. They’ll get it…just takes time.

Have a good week and start filling out the Reading slips for the home reading. They are on the “Say Aloha to a Good Book” slip. I’ll collect the signed slips on Friday (same day as SPELLING TEST.)
