Week of February 8th

Hi Families!

The kids are doing great today! Last week was a little unusual for us. Lots of chatter and wiggles. Today, we seem to be much more like ourselves. phew!!! 

A list of student names was mailed out to you today. If you don't receive it, please let me know.  The copier is not cooperating so I will send out a hard copy as soon as it's back to normal.  If you are able to, please have the valentines to school by the 11th. That way no one worries about forgetting their valentines Friday morning. Valentines are not required, only if you want to send them in. 

Our party is Friday morning at 9:30. It's going to be low key and short. We'll save our bigger celebrations for later in the year. 

As we leave Unit 4 in math, ask your child what types of surveys we took. And, ask what are ways one can keep track of their data. Unit 5 is all about length and measurement. The students will be using varying units of measure to find the length of a variety of objects. It's a fun and interactive way to learn how to measure length. 

We are back into full swing in reading groups. You should be seeing new books every day or two in your child's pouch. As you have time, read some with your child. I know all too well that it's hard in the evening to always carve out that time. Please try to do so as we are moving into the next levels, and practice helps them to hold onto what is learned in group. Your kids amaze me every day with what they can do!

Have an amazing week!
