Hey everyone!!!  Hope everyone is surviving the cold weather and flu!!!  I can’t seem to get back into the swing of things after all the craziness.  I need to give a few updates on upcoming events then I’ll update academics.  Valentine’s Party is this Wednesday at 11:15 (right after lunch). I sent a note home with all the information needed (names of classmates and Mrs. White’s information).  I am still in need of some stickers, foam letters, etc… to decorate their Valentine’s bags if anyone can help out with that I’d be very grateful!  We will have a school holiday on February 19th for Presidents day and an early release on February 28th for PLC work day for teachers.

Spelling words:  into, has, more,her, two, like, him, see, time, could

Math:  We are concentrating on money and time to the hour and half hour right now.  It is really important that you let your kiddo touch change, sort it, and count it. Time to the half hour always gives them fits just knowing what hour it is.

Phonics/Writing:  We are working on nouns, adjectives, verbs and compound words.

Science/Social Studies:  As most of you know, we are learning about arctic animals with a concentration on penguins.  The kiddos love penguins.
