This week we will begin by checking our Groundhog Day predictions that we wrote last week. Then we will be celebrating our 100th Day of School on Monday. To celebrate we will be doing different counting activities and making 100 using money, cubes, links, etc. The students will be writing about if they had $100 what would they do, and what would they want 100 of and what would they not want 100 of. I also have a special treat for all of them in the afternoon to help celebrate.
In Superkids, we will be finishing up revising our problem/solution stories and continuing to work with contractions and compound words. We will be doing another of the interactive tuck-ins from our Superkids on the SMARTboard. We will also read the final story in our Adventures of the Superkids reader called "Buster." Along with reading the story we will work on summarizing and drawing conclusions from the story.
*Thursday, Feb. 7 will be our Unit 10 spelling test.
*Friday, Feb. 8 and Monday, Feb. 11 we will have our End of Level reading test. This test will cover all the pattern and memory words from all 10 units. It will also have a story to read and comprehension questions. The last part will be writing about a given topic.
In math this week we will be working more with adding 2 digit numbers without regrouping, identifying how many more on a graph, congruent shapes, and comparing 2 digit numbers. The students will be doing some of the daily fact practice using the SMARTboard again.
In science we will be finishing up our penguin theme unit this week by looking at the life cycle of penguins and finishing up writing about if we had a pet penguin what we would need in order to care for the penguin. Our science lab this week will be dealing with magnets and iron. We will see if we can take the iron out of cereal. We will also begin talking about the Sun, Moon, Stars, and Planets.
*Please bring in a toilet paper tube by Thursday, Feb. 7.
*Also bring in a shoebox for our Valentine mailboxes by Wednesday, Feb. 13.
