Hello! We had an awesome time this week! The blog is going to be long but please read all of it!

Phonics: We will be reviewing two syllable words and learning about single open syllable words like go, and we. Open syllable words have a long vowel sound rather than a short vowel sound. Please review long vowel sounds. I sent home a rapid word chart today. Please be reviewing those.

Comprehension: We will be looking at how characters change through out stories next week. I sent home the reading log today, please be reading with your child. The log is due back next Friday.

Math: We are loving the geometry unit! I will be sending home homework on Monday and Wednesday of next! Talk about 2D shapes and their attributes at home. We will be moving into 3D shapes soon! The grocery store is the perfect place to talk about different shapes!

Science: Don't forget to do your moon journal!! The websites that can help you are on previous blogs!

Parent/Teacher Conferences: Please sign up for conferences, reminder only one conference per student. Parent/Teacher Conf.

Friday, January 31st:
We have our awards ceremony at 8:30 am. It will be about an hour to an hour and half. We would love for you to join us.
It is early release! Pick up at 1:30 pm!
It is also the 100th Day of School (Can you believe it?)! We will be celebrating by doing some fun things. One is doing a 100th day trail mix. Below I have made a signup for some items. If you could sign up and help us that would be awesome!100th Day Signup!

February 13th! 
It is a half day! We will also be celebrating Valentines Day! Your student can create a valentines mail box. I would suggest a large decorated shoe box or a large decorate paper bag. I know its early but I wanted to put it on your radar! If your student does not create a valentines box then I will provide a large plastic bag.  Boxes need to be brought on the 13th. Students can bring valentines/candy to pass out. If you bring one valentine you have to bring one for everyone (28 students)! I will list the first names of the students in our class next week. If you do NOT want your student's name listed please email me so I can remove it. I would suggest if your student has a hard time reading the names to just put "To: classmate or friend." I will assist students if they need help but there is only one of me! We will be having root beer floats that day as well! I have create yet another sign up for those supplies.      Valentines Day Sign Up
