HI!

We had a great week of learning!  Today we graphed how many books we have read for the 15 Book Challenge.  Your child is keeping a personal record of the books they have read and we are keeping a class total as well. For the month of January, we have read 83 books as a class!  We were super excited to see our class total.  Ask your child how many books they have read.  Many of them took home books to read over the weekend.  Since the weather is supposed to be beautiful, have them sit outside and read a few pages! 

Reading Workshop-  We will continue our unit on poetry. This week we will focus on repetition and syllables in poems.  

Writing Workshop-  We will begin writing poems this week. We finished our persuasive letters and many of you need to check your mail because you will have something special delivered!  

 

Math-   We began our unit on money.  We will focus on values up to $1.00 using pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters.  To help your child at home, you could pull out change and have them count the coins you have.  This is a quick and easy way to get your child comfortable with counting coins. 

Science- We will begin our unit on rocks.  I have asked your child to bring in one or two rocks for a lesson on Monday.  They should be rocks they have found outside. 

Class Celebrations- Carlos  is our Star of the Week! Great job, Carlos!   We want to wish Dalton  a Happy Birthday!  We hope your day is special!  

I hope you have a great weekend!

Mrs. King
