February, 26th

I hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend! This next week coming up is a little different because of the teacher work day on Wednesday. Also a reminder that Tuesday evening is our open house! It is just a time of families to come into the classrooms and look around, and see the fun things their students have been doing. It is different from back to school night because we won’t have any presentations or anything. Just a fun time for families and the school to get together.

Focus wall:

Pictures are always fun, so here are some pictures from our Math Work Station time!

Students doing math on our interactive board

Students reading math books to eachother

Quack shake and spill. Students have to say how many are on the duck and how many are off, and how much it makes all together.

Students practicing patterns

Candy land turned into math game! Read it, write it , count it.

Notes:

·        On February 4^th, our class is going to the public Library. This is a very relaxed field trip. We are going for a few hours to get a tour of the library, have a story time, look a books, and play. We won’t be checking out any books during this time. We are taking one class at a time so we do not need parent volunteers, though they are always welcome!

·        Just a reminder that class does start at 8:30. I know it is sometimes hard to get there on time, but please try because this is still valuable learning time in the morning. Students always have some type of work to do when they come in, and this is a time I get to work with students individually. Missing 1o minutes every day totals to almost a week of school a year!!! It really does add up.
