week of February 26, 2018

Mrs. Borden and Mrs. Jones’ Newsletter
Week of February 26, 2018

***In Math, we will finish up Topic 7, Understanding Addition.  We have addition sentences left to cover along with drawing a picture to solve a problem.  We will continue to review joining and have been acting out and drawing problems each day to continue our learning.  We will take our assessment later in the week and then move on to Topic 8.

***In Reading, our new story is: Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  We will be talking about: characters in the story and then discuss what an author does along with what the illustrator does. We also have a few other versions of the story that we will be reading to compare to the original story.  Our amazing words are: bears, cottage, middle-sized, porridge, big, small.

   ***Science and Social Studies-  We have been reviewing the holidays of Presidents’ Day and Valentine’s Day when we do our Calendar in the morning.  We also have been reading books for Dental Health.  We have been talking about how to keep our teeth healthy and why we go to the dentist along with brushing tips.

***Handwriting/Writing-  We are so close to being done with our handwriting books so that we can move onto reviewing letter formations and writing words and sentences with better accuracy.  We stress to not rush, sit with your feet on the floor, use your helper hand to steady the book, and always start your letters at the top!

***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! 

***Don’t forget about the Red Practice Folders if you have not completed them and turned them back in.  Students can pick from the prize box once all the boxes have been completed and signed. 
***Important Dates:
***The beginning of March is right around the corner.  Be on the lookout for new calendars, menus, and any other information.  Also, the book logs for February are due.
Friday, March 2- Read Across America Day and PBIS reward day
