HI!

Welcome to a crazy week of learning! We will have our Valentine's Party on Thursday, February 14.  We will have stations this time so if you are planning on attending, don't be surprised if you are in charge of a station/ activity.  Also, since the day will be full of excitement,  we will do our STEAM activity that day instead of Friday! We will try to make a candy box that will hold five chocolate kisses! If they succeed, they will get to keep the chocolate kisses :)  

Here is what our week of learning will look like next week:  

Reading and Writing  Workshop-  We will  continue our unit on Folktales.   This week we will focus on classic folktales like the Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, Tikki Tikki Tembo, and The Gingerbread Man. We will also begin looking at Fractured Fairy Tales which are my absolute favorite!

Science/ Social Studies-  We made our salt maps and a huge thank you to all the moms who mixed and made a mess with us :)  We are hoping they dry so we can begin painting our landforms this week! This week we will focus on our map unit. We will focus on cardinal directions and learning how to read a map.  

Math-   We will continue  our unit on three digit place value. This week we will focus on comparing three digit numbers and looking at three digit numbers on a number line. 

Important Information:   We will have our Valentine's Party on Feb. 14 at 1:30. We will hand out 

Valentine's cards.  I sent home a list of names so if you do not have one, let me know!  We had so many friends out sick it was hard to keep track of who received a list!  

Class Brighteners:  We would like to wish Tatum  a very Happy Birthday!  We hope your day was special!  This week we are beginning our Pleasing Penmanship Award!  This award will go to one or two students a week who display neat, quality work across the curriculum! They will receive special writing tools only they can use for the week. These include mechanical pencils, special erasers, and their own set of smelly markers in a fancy pencil holder! The two students who earned this award are Emma and Sebastian! Congratulations!

Have a great week!
