I hope you enjoyed the long weekend! We read the book, Happy Birthday Martin Luther King! and talked about how important it is to treat people fairly and not to judge them on their looks.
This week we will be printing the letters I through P in our workbooks. We're still working on tapping and blending sounds. This is an easy task you can do with your child. Choose a 3 letter word and have your child show you how we've been tapping out the sounds (tapping our pointer, middle. and ring finger and then sliding our thumb underneath).
We've also started "Writer's Workshop". The kids drew pictures of something they "know" about and then did their best guessing spelling to write about it. They are doing a great job of sounding out words and writing the letters to represent them.
We will finish our unit on length this week and move on to weight (we'll use the scales to weigh common objects) and compare weights with non standard units, 3D shapes will follow.
Looking ahead...
Our 100th day of school will be here before you know it (crazy?) right now it looks like it will fall on February 13 (if we have no snow days). This will coincide on the same day as our Valentine's Day party which we will celebrate in the afternoon. Be on the lookout for a class list for Valentine's Day cards, please be sure you include all students in the class. We'll be decorating bags in class to hold our cards.
Please remember to pack a hat and gloves for your child, they will be going out for recess most days.
