Week of February 11

     This week will be shorter with Friday being No School, but it will be a busy one for us.  We will be having our Valentine's Day party on Thursday, Feb. 14 in the afternoon.  Students may bring in valentines to pass out to everyone in class.

     In religion this week we will finish up talking about the Holy Spirit and begin talking about Ash Wednesday and Lent. 

     Monday we will be finishing up our End of Level test for Adventures of the Superkids.  Tuesday we will start More Adventures of the Superkids.  In this level students will be learning new sounds for letters.  We will begin by looking at 'y' as a vowel.  We will also have a new reader and stories.

     In math this week we will work on trading pennies for dimes and adding two digit numbers with regrouping using dimes and pennies.  Tuesday we will be having a math test.  Also this week we will be graphing candy hearts and answering questions about our individual graphs.  The students will also be going on a scavenger hunt in the classroom to find hearts that have matching values.  Students will be continuing to use Xtramath in the classroom and I encourage you to also use this at home to help practice fact fluency.

     In Science this week we will be continuing to talk about the sun, moon, stars, and planets.  Students will be making their star pictures that we didn't get to do on Friday.  We will also be writing about what we would see in space if we were in a spaceship and creating our own imaginary planets.  Our lab this week will be making some magnetic slime!

     Next week we will be talking about presidents in Social Studies.  Also coming up:
  • Communities Inquiry Unit
  • Lent
  • Easter
  • Time Stories
