Happy February!
We kicked off this month with Kindness Week, which was a huge success! Students participated in school spirit and classroom activities each day and learned how to treat others well and be a good friend. You can help at home by continuing to have these conversations about kindness with your child throughout the rest of the year as we continue to support this behavior in the classroom. As you may already know, our class began a Science Experiment in December and finished last month. We competed in our school's Science Fair showing our project on how candy canes dissolve in the following liquids: hot water, cold water, salt water, oil, and vinegar. We received a second place ribbon and I am proud of the hard work our students did on this big project! In math, we have been working on adding unknown numbers by making groups of ten in order to solve them. We have applied this skill to word problems and basic addition facts, At this point in the year, students should be working on, at least, their 5's in our weekly math race. We have learned to solve problems by breaking numbers down into parts, drawing pictures and diagrams, and circling clue words. Students should be practicing their math race addition facts each night, as well as their weekly spelling words, and completing their reading log. In Language Arts, our current unit is called Animals Everywhere. We have discussed animal features, animals together, in the wild, insects, and working with animals within our daily Language Arts routines: spelling/vocabulary, blending/phonemic awareness, reading/fluency, comprehension, grammar, and writing. Report cards are being sent home during conference week, so students have two weeks until final grades. It is very important that they are doing their required practice at home, working hard in the classroom, and having good attendance/being on time for school every day! If not, these things may reflect in their grades. Take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy the upcoming four day weekend!
