Hey guys I hope everyone is having a great start to their week!!!  Just wanted to update everyone on what is going on at school and in our classroom.  Please remember that Wednesday is an early release day for teacher training.  We will be dismissing at 11:30 for Primary and we ask that parents do not have lunch with their kiddos on that day due to a lack of room when trying to fit all of our kiddos in the lunch room together.  Also, on early release days I know most of you eat after you pick your kiddos up but…if you don’t send some small something with them we have to send them through the line for a lunch.  I use to send peanut butter crackers or a pop tart with my own kids.

Valentines is coming up and I/we need help with a few items for our kids.  If anyone could help me with white paper bags with handles on them that would be great!  If you can, please text me or email me.  I also need things to decorate the bags like stickers, heart doilies, etc… anything the kids can use to decorate their bags would help tremendously!!!  We also always make cards for children in the hospital but I have noticed that Jennifer Hearron, our sweet Nory’s mom, is asking for help with some things for the hospital that has helped so much with Nory’s treatments.  So we will be making cards, sending unopened cards for the kids to address to special people to them, and donating even just a $1 for a donation for a cookie decorating kit for these sweet kiddos.  If you can help with any of these items, pick up an extra box of cards-card making kits-or send a $1 to help that would be amazing.

Spelling words for the next two weeks:  some, so, these, would, other, into, has, more, her, two

Phonics:  We are working on verbs this week and showing them how to tie in nouns, adjectives, and verbs in their writing.

Math:  hour and half hour on clocks-counting a collection of coins (right now we are just counting like coins together ex: pennies with pennies, nickles with nickles, and dimes with dimes)  We continue to work on addition, subtraction, and problem solving

Writing:  We are focusing on re-reading to revise and edit.  This simply means they are going back over their story when they are done and re-reading it to check for left out words, making sure sentences make sense, looking for punctuation and capitals after punctuation, and making sure they have spelled no-excuse words correctly (I am giving spelling grades on their writing).

Science/Social Studies:  They are really having fun with our research center and this week they get to make snow!!!!  We are continuing our study on Penguins.  Next week is the 100th day of school and Groundhog day so busy busy busy!

Thank you guys for reading with your kids every night and for all the support I/we get from you daily.  You have no idea what it means to me and your kids!!!!
