THIS WEEK IS Zz WEEK! Zz AS IN ZEBRA AND ZOO. WE WILL HAVE A PHONICS LESSON ON THE LETTER/SOUND EACH DAY AND ON FRIDAY WE WILL HAVE SHOW AND TELL, SO, Z-BAGS WILL COME HOME ON MONDAY.
IN MATH WE WILL REVIEW AND TEST ON CHAPTER 6-NUMBERS 10-30. THEN WE WILL START CHAPTER 7-NUMBER PATTERNS. WE WILL USE HUNDREDS CHARTS A LOT AND WE WILL BE COUNTING BY 10, 5, AND 2.
IN HANDWRITING WE WILL PRACTICE THE Zz, OF COURSE. WE WILL ALSO KEEP PRACTICING WRITING THE NUMBERS, PARTICULARLY THE NUMBERS 7 AND 8.
IN READING WE WILL BE FINISHING OUR STORY, "WHOSE GARDEN IS IT?" AND BEGINNING A NEW UNIT AND STORY BY THURSDAY. OUR NEW UNIT HAS LOTS OF BOOKS ABOUT ANIMALS AND, OF COURSE, KINDERGARTNERS LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ANIMALS.
IN KID-WRITING WE WILL BE WRITING ABOUT WHICH ANIMALS/EXHIBITS YOUR CHILD WOULD INCLUDE IN THEIR ZOO. THAT SHOULD BE AN INTERESTING TOPIC.
BY THE END OF THIS WEEK I WILL SEND HOME A CLASS LIST FOR EACH CHILD. THIS WILL GIVE PARENTS/CHILDREN ABOUT 2 WEEKS TO WRITE THEIR VALENTINES. "LOVE IS IN THE AIR."
TUESDAY, JANUARY 26TH NSE IS HAVING "HATS OFF TO HAITI." THIS IS A FUNDRAISER FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE EARTHQUAKE. FOR A DOLLAR ($1.00) YOUR CHILD CAN WEAR A HAT FOR THE DAY AND HELP RAISE FUNDS FOR A WORTHY CAUSE.
THE 100TH DAY OF SCHOOL WILL SOON BE HERE. HELP YOUR CHILD COUNT TO 100. A LETTER ABOUT ALL OF THE SPECIAL ACTIVITIES FOR THAT DAY WILL BE COMING HOME THIS WEEK IN YOUR CHILD'S FOLDER.
PARENTS-PLEASE BE CAREFUL---ACCORDING TO THE DRESS CODE, SHIRTS MUST HAVE COLLARS (UNLESS THEY ARE TURTLENECKS). I HAVE NOTICED SOME CHILDREN WITH COLLARLESS SHIRTS LATELY, SO BE MINDFUL OF THE DRESS CODE.
ALSO-PLEASE, PLEASE , PLEASE- EMPTY YOUR CHILD'S TAKE-HOME FOLDER EACH NIGHT. SOME STUDENTS HAVE FOLDERS THAT ARE SO FULL, WE CANNOT FIT MORE PAPERS IN. YOU CERTAINLY DO NOT NEED TO SAVE ALL PAPERS. WE SEND HOME PAPERS SO THAT YOU WILL SEE WHAT WE ARE LEARNING THAT WEEK AND, ALSO, NOTICE THE QUALITY OF YOUR CHILD'S WORK. ONCE YOU LOOK AT THE PAPERS-MOST CAN BE DISCARDED. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
YOUR CHILD SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT HOME HIS/HER REPORT CARD ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 22ND. PLEASE SIGN IT AND RETURN IT TO SCHOOL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. OVERALL, THE CHILDREN DID WELL THIS MARKING PERIOD. ALL OF THE CHILDREN HAVE MADE PROGRESS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.
MONDAY IS DAY 4---LIBRARY BOOK EXCHANGE. IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY SENT BACK HIS/HER LIBRARY BOOK, PLEASE SEND IT TOMORROW.
