Parent Teacher Conferences
Conferences are held on an "as needed" basis.  If you receive an invitation email on Tuesday, Jan. 20, please follow the link to sign up at your convenience.  If you have any questions, let me know.  

If you are not sent an invitation, that just means that I don't have any specific concerns right now.  As always, if you would like a conference or have a concern, feel free to contact me.  

Valentine Mailboxes
We will be decorating valentine mailboxes in a few weeks!  Each student needs to bring in an empty shoebox, preferably one with a separate lid.  Please write your child's name inside the box and send it anytime.  Thank you!

Math
This week we will be skip counting by different amounts using a number line as well as using patterns to identify the next number.  We'll also be comparing 3 digit numbers and we'll end the week with a topic review.  

Fast Facts - We will now move on to subtraction fast facts.  Continue to work on fact fluency at home with all the math facts.  Timed tests are given to the students weekly.  
This week's fast facts:     12 - 2       11 - 2       10 - 2       9 - 2

Reading
Our story this week is Officer Mike and Aero.  It is a nonfiction story about a police officer and his canine companion.  Our comprehension strategy is inferencing.  Grammar focus will be on prefixes and suffixes.
