2/21

Phonics: We will be reviewing Vowel-consonant-e words (bake, bike) and rules, along with a review the r-controlled vowel sounds (er, or, ar). We have not explored the spellings for r-controlled sounds yet but will in the near future.

Comprehension: We will be focusing on finding the lesson or moral of the texts we read. Students should ask themselves, "What did the character learn?" I will be sending home reading homework that will be due next Friday. It is about Text-self connections. Students should look for things they can relate to in the stories they read. If you are reading informational texts students can record what they find most interesting instead.

Math: We will be wrapping up our geometry unit next week. We will review shapes (2D and 3D) and fractions. Students should be able to identify when something is divided in halves, thirds, and fourths. No homework.

Social Studies: We will be wrapping up our black history unit next week and will be looking at famous landmarks!

March 2nd: Music concert!
March 3rd: Class pictures with school uniforms!

March 16th: Field trip to  the Aquarium! I will be sending home permission slips today! Please get that back ASAP! Also I can take 4 parent chaperones! The first 4 to email me will selected!

Smart watches: I have had several families ask at either conferences or via email about smart watches. Students can wear them before and after school but not during class. They can easily become a distraction to the student wearing them and to others. If you have any questions you can contact the K-2 Dean, Jenna Reeves.
