February 2-6, 2015

This week in Phonics, we’ll move on to our next letter, Ii as in igloo, inch, ice cream, iguana, and ice! Please continue to practice all of the letters that we’ve learned (L, O, G, H, T, P, A, N, M.) Show and Tell can be tricky for the letter Ii!! I usually skip it but we’re going to try it since our class loves show and tell!! Friday is going to be a really busy day so we won’t share our Show and Tell until Monday (February 9.)

In Math, we’ll start learning about weighing objects. We’ll also practice ordering items according to their weight.

In Reading we’ll read We Are So Proud! We’ll continue to discuss the importance of working together with classmates. Our literary element for the story will be setting.

Report cards are being sent home today. Please sign and return the envelope only! The contents of the envelope are yours to keep! Report Card envelopes are due back as soon as possible!

On Friday, students who earned the January positive behavior plan reward will get to play BINGO in the cafeteria! Please continue to remind your child that in February any student who has 3 or more red and/ or yellow stoplights will not participate in the monthly reward.
