Book It            Very few children are reading and keeping track of the minutes

Home Links        they read.  This is REQUIRED homework! Please help your child start forming these homework habits. Just write in the minutes read and initial it each night.  Home Links are also a part of required homework.  They are great practice for your child!

 

Valentine’s        Our Valentine’s party will be Thursday, February 13th. Your child will need

Party              to bring cards for his/her own class.  It works best if you send the valentines WITHOUT putting names on them.  It makes passing out valentines much easier and faster.  Your child DOES NOT need a box for his/her valentines! We will be making them as a project in class.  I will be sending notes home asking for treats.  We will be having ice cream sundaes!

 

Science            We have learning and exploring matter and its properties in science.  Ask

your to teach you what he/she knows about matter and about the experiments that we have been doing.  They are very excited about what they know and are becoming matter experts!

 

Informational      In both reading and  writing we are focusing on informational text.  To

Text               help us with this we have been learning about penguins.  The children                      are very excited about the information they are learning.  I am  sure

your child would be more than happy to share it with you.

 

MOOSE            We have had a hard time remembering our calendars and MOOSE Books

Books              Please know that your child should be marking his/her behavior everyday and this is my way to communicate with you how things are going here at school with tag colors.
