Short Week

Hello Everybody.  A friendly reminder that we have no school this Thursday or Friday.   We are still business as usual for the 3 day week.  

Language Arts

Spelling:

This week we will not have a spelling test.  Instead I will give the students 2 weeks worth of words (as next week is a short week as well).  The students will not return their spelling duotangs until next Wednesday (Feb 5th).  We will have a spelling test next Wednesday that will cover the 10 new words they received today.  Please continue to practice the spelling words with your children as this practice will get them very familiar with the words, which are their sight words (word wall words).  The 10 words they received today are as follows:

some   did   many   time   there   how   say   each   then   other

Writing

For writing tasks this week, we will continue to focus on writing sentences.  We will introduce the idea of reading over our own sentences and making our own corrections (looking for capital letters at the beginning of our sentences and periods at the end, as well as adding detail).  

Math

We will continue with the concepts of measurement and addition to 12

Science

 We have begun our 5 senses unit.  Our focus this week will be on sight as well as taste.

I hope all of the students enjoy their super long weekend and all that the rest of January has to offer.  We will see you in February.
