That was exciting!! The kids did a great job getting through the first thunder and lightning of the year. We even counted how many times the word THUNDER was used in the Imagine Dragons Thunder song.
Friday is the last day of Kindness Week. Please wear a School Spirit shirt or school colors unless... Tomorrow is also Spring Picture Day! Tomorrow is the 100th Day of School. Students are invited to dress up as 100 year old people with crazy socks!
Just a reminder that tomorrow is crazy hair day. Our class is tied for first place in the Kindness Week Spirit participation contest. Let's see some bedhead!
Also, we are in need of Fruit Loops for our 100th Day necklaces. Please send a box if you are able. Thanks! This week is Kindness Week! We will be participating in school wide activities during class and lunch time. We also will have spirit days.
Monday - Wear a THE Leadership Shirt Tuesday - Team Kindness Sports Day Wednesday - Crazy for Kindness Crazy Hair Day Thursday - Kindness Rocks rock your silly socks day Friday - Community of Kindness - Wear your THE Spirit Wear The PTA has set a date for the next Popcorn Party. Please return all of your boxtops by February will your name on the bag or paper.
We are quickly coming up on our 100th Day of School. We have fun rotations planned and encourage everyone to dress up like he or she is 100 years old next Thursday, January 31st.
As we head into the second half of the school year, we are making some changes with homework. You will see a new list of reading words. These should be kept in the Homework Folder as we will work on these two pages through February. They are the words from the flashcards but now shown in sentence form. We will also continue writing but now the students will use their writing journal instead. Please keep this journal in their backpack at all times. They will read their paragraph to the class on Fridays. Please have them practice reading their journal entries to you before Friday. I have also added a page of math homework. You can still access any of the online activities available. If your child has a paper folder from me, please try to purchase a new pocket folder and send it in this Friday. As a reference, your child should be to: *read most of the sentences quickly without sounding out words and with few mistakes. *complete 3-4 sentences with correct capitalization, punctuation, and at least 4 -6 words per sentence independently. *complete most of the math homework independently This week we are reading The Sleeping Pig and learning about contractions. We will still be practicing the silent E words, as well. We are writing about our goals for the new years. It sounds like you have lots of clean rooms in your future! Encourage your child to share their goals and how they plan to meet them. We are also working on descriptive paragraphs this week. During math we are focusing on both subtraction and place value. Students will benefit from nightly practice of addition and subtraction flashcards to help their automaticity.
I am reassessing their sight words and will send a new set of flashcards home on Friday with next week's homework. There is not a homework folder this week but, hopefully, you are continuing your routine of reading daily. |
