Signs of Spring??

 

                      

I am beginning to think our groundhog friend “Happy Tracker” may have made the right prediction this year! Wow! We love this wonderful weather!! I hope everyone was able to get outside and have fun during this extra long weekend. This beautiful flower was growing in my backyard and I just had to share it with you! I hope it makes you smile! H

I am looking forward to seeing all of my sweet little firsties in the morning. We have a busy week ahead!

Reading ~ Our focus sound this week is /er/ as in sister and /oo/ as in book. This week’s word wall words are: after, her, about ,all, long, call, must, fall, and under. Since I was out unexpectedly last week we will have our word wall test this Thursday.

Math ~ We will finish up Chapter 14 and test on it this week.  Look for the review sheet to come home the night before we test.  Please continue to practice addition and subtraction math facts at home.

Language ~ We will focus on grammar rule 21 adding es to nouns ending with sh, ch s or x to mean more than one.  We are constantly reviewing rules that we have already learned this year which includes ALL grammar rules 1 – 20.

 

Other News ~

We will be celebrating Read Across America Week during  February 28-March 4th.  We will have a school wide character book parade on Thursday, March 3.  Begin thinking of a character from your child's favorite book to dress up as. Our annual school wide character book parade will be on Thursday, March 3 at 9:30. Details are coming home this week.

We are continuing to track the weather with other children all across North America.  Our Project Groundhog Journals will let us know if Happy Tracker’s prediction was correct this year.  We are on week 3 of 6! 

Muffins for Moms is Wednesday, February 23 and Thursday, February 24. Please walk your sweet firstie to our classroom after you enjoy your muffin so I can get a quick photo of both of you together!

Don’t forget that our Community Spirit project, Adopt-a-Bird money is due tomorrow, February 22.

We are in need of paper towels in our classroom.  If you would be so gracious to send a roll that would be wonderful!

A big thank you to Amanda Smith for organizing our Valentine’s Party! It was a wonderful party and everyone had such a “lovely” time!

Thank you for the support and encouragement you show for Room 123.  Have a great week!

HUGS!!
