The week of Feb. 5-9.

Snow, snow go away, come again another day (next year)!  We are so ready to play outside in warm weather!

100's Day!  We had a great time doing activities throughout the day!

Shaking up our Trail Mix!  We counted 2,200 pieces in our Trail Mix!  

January Book-it Calendars!  Please turn those in tomorrow if you haven't already.  I have one without a name that no one is claiming.  Please make sure both you and your child write your names at the bottom.  If your child's is lost, write on a paper that they have read at least 20 days.  The calendar and reading 10 min. a day for 20 days is required in Kindergarten.  The more you read the better reader you will become!  

Valentines--  Please remember to get your child Valentine cards to write their name on only if they choose not to add their classmates' names.  Send them in on Valentine's Day!  They have to be able to read their classmate's names to be able to  write them on the card.  

Reading this week!
We are talking about holidays, why we celebrate them and Presidents' Day!  We will also learn about Thomas Edison and write a thank you letter to him in our journal for inventing the light bulb!

George Washington and Abe Lincoln are the two presidents we will be reading about.  Then we will do a fun activity using Abe's hat.  The kids will have to be creative to make the hat in to something and tell what it is.  

Sight words this week --have, an (we will learn that we use the word an in front of any words beginning with a vowel.  ie. an apple

Sight word Incentive Party-  You will be seeing the reward to earn a scoop of ice cream if your child knows his/her 3rd quarter sight words this week.  

Double consonants--We have learned that we double a consonant when there is a vowel in front of it and it has 2 syllables; such as "puppy".  The class is also remembering to only split a word at the end of a line if there is more than one syllable.  Also you split between the syllables and add a dash.

Letter of the week--Ww

Math this week!
We are taking our addition test tomorrow.  Today we had fun playing "Around the World" with our addition flashcards.  Next, we will move on to Topic 8--Understanding Subtraction.
