Dear Parents,

            Last week I sent home grade cards. If you have not signed and returned them to school please do so as soon as possible.  I will be sending home, in the Friday folder, a copy of the grade card for you to keep at home. If you would like to look at some of the skills that will be coming up for next quarter and work on them that would be great! Thank you so much for your support!

Phonics/Writing   

            This week we read some stories by the author Jan Brett. The Mitten and The Hat are great winter stories that are fun for the kids and they love to read and listen too.

            This next week, we will be discussing animals that live in cold regions of our world such as the penguin and the polar bear.

Through out the year we have been working on grammar. This next week I will be reviewing nouns and verbs. Ask your child to help you think of a person place or thing and review this at home.

            Next week we will also be working on word families. The students will be doing sorting activities to go with these words.

Math    

            Next week we will discuss the penny. I will also introduce the nickel.

Library

            Our library day is on every Thursday. Please make sure that the library books are back to school at least by Wednesday of every week so that we will have them ready for Thursday.

If you ever have any questions or concerns please let me know! I will be glad to help

Up coming dates:

Jan 27- Early dismissal at 12:30.
