Dear Parents,
We are looking forward to a fun & simple Valentine's Day
celebration Tuesday! This is not a formal "party." We will have
centers, as usual, but the art projects will have a Valentine theme.
Following centers, we will begin passing out valentines. We
will have snack/recess as usual. Valentine's Day is also another
school spirit day-- wear pink, red, purple, etc. to show your school
spirit!
Our President's report homework is due tomorrow, in the Blue Bags as
always . Our sharing this week will be to state the one sentence about
Lincoln, and the one sentence about George Washington that your children
wrote on the back of the dot-to-dots. We
would like them to have each sentence memorized, but we expect that a
few may need some prompting. There will be no homework this Wednesday
due to the upcoming vacation.
Our new letter this week is Dd. The Alphafriend is Dudley Duck. We will introduce a new sight word,
for. Please check the website for the starred words that the
children should be able to read without hesitation. They are listed
under the right-hand link, "High Frequency Words." We have now
introduced 20 words.
We will begin a new math topic tomorrow on patterning. The children
really enjoy this topic. We will also wrap up our Social Science unit
on mapping & neighborhoods. We will be learning more about
Presidents Lincoln & Washington this week, and will end
the week with a mini-patriotic parade down to the office in our
three-cornered hats, waving an American flag :)
Have a great week off next week!
