Week of February 21

Mrs. Borden & Mrs. Jones’ Nifty Newsletter (Week of February 21)

There will be no school Monday, February 21.
There will not be a decodable reader for homework next week. Instead, there will be an Independent Oral Reading page, sight word practice and Word List 13 practice.
This week in phonics we will learn the letter D as in dog and dinosaur. There will not be Show and Tell this week. In place of Show and Tell we will present Dinosaur reports. Information about the report is in your folder today.
In Reading we will begin My Lucky Day. This story looks at where our adventures can take us. We will also discuss Cause and Effect.
Our Math concepts for the week will be ABC patterns, Problem Solving, Estimating, Measuring, and Money.
We have been discussing dental health this week. We did experiments, crafts, read books and sent home materials to read with your child. Ask your child what they learned?
We are beginning our Dr. Seuss Author Study. Look for a book that our class created in your child’s backpack. Each child will have the opportunity to take it home for the night. Please read it, make a comment and send it back the next day.
We will be collecting cash for critters until the end of the month.
Our class had a lovely time at the Valentine party! Thanks to the homeroom moms for doing a great job!
