Week of February 19, 2018
***In Math, we have just started Topic 7, Understanding Addition. We will learn to join two groups and tell how many there are altogether. We will learn how to use the plus sign and the equal sign and learn about addition sentences. Our math vocabulary includes: number story, join, plus sign, addition sentence.
***In Reading, our new story is: One Little Mouse. We will be talking about: setting of the story, characters in the story, and sequence of the story along with problem/solution. We will continue to work on speaking in complete sentences. Our amazing words are: woodland, vole, comfortable, nest, hollow, shadows.
***Science and Social Studies- We have been making a chart with important information about our Presidents Washington and Lincoln in preparation for Presidents’ Day. We have gotten our information from: prior knowledge, books, and information from websites. We will also be working on Dental Health and talking about how and why we need to keep our teeth and mouths healthy. We have also been working on the concept of “self-talk” and have enclosed some problem solving strategies that are great when working through a difficult situation.
***Handwriting/Writing- We are working on copying from another source as well as going back to review some of the letter and number formations that we have done previously. We will also be sending the completed handwriting books home so that you can review at home and look at the progress your child has made from the beginning of the year until this point.
***Important Reminders- Please don’t forget a small snack for your child daily. They are more than welcome to have a drink from the water fountain (so a drink isn’t always needed) but they are very hungry after special and don’t always have a snack packed. Thank you for your cooperation! Please also read for the book log nightly and practice sight words! Thanks so much! Please contact us with any questions and/or concerns.
***Important Dates:
Monday, February 19- Day 4- We do have school on Presidents’ Day.
Friday, February 23- Movie Night at 7pm at the High School
