Another short week...

Well, we have had another very short week! Hopefully, we have enjoyed our last snow days and we can get back to our normal routine!
In math, we are still polishing our skills in telling time to the nearest minute, measuring to the nearest half-inch, finding change from $10, and recognizing patterns to solve problems.
Please be sure that your child is reading at home. Reading just 20-30 minutes a night and talking about the reading will improve vocabulary, fluency and enjoyment of reading. We all know that to get better at anything, we must practice! Reading is no different! Good readers are good readers because they read! Help your child become a stronger reader tonight!
It’s almost time for our Valentine’s Day! Party details went home on the newsletter last week. The kids know the details so if you need some information, check with them! If you still have some questions, just let me know. We will be celebrating on Monday, February 14th from 1:20-2:45. Remember, if your child brings Valentines and/or treats they MUST bring enough for EVERYONE.
Midterms were scheduled to go home Friday, February 4th, but because of the short week, they will be sent home next Friday. The grades are current online if you would like to see the assignments as well as the grades.
We are so happy to have Miss Taylor back! She will begin teaching a few lessons next week. Our class is very lucky to have 2 teachers ready to help them learn!
Please be sure you child is here on time each day unless he/she is ill. Our learning time has been shortened but the amount of learning has not been shortened! Every single day, we will be learning new concepts and practicing previously learned concepts. Even though we have less learning time, we will still be digging deeply into our learning and creating meaningful experiences. Please help your child get back into a routine with an early bed time, nightly homework help and nightly reading.
Thanks for all you do!
