Feb. 15 - 19

Happy Valentine's Day!



We had a great party this afternoon!  Thank you to Mrs. Mastny, Mrs. Waitkus, Ms. Mueller, and Mrs. Hines for planning and helping with games, food, and fun!   The kids enjoyed a great snack provided by Ms. Williams, Mrs. Bauer, and Mrs. Hines.  The kids made a fun handprint craft and rotated through 4 game stations.  

Thanks also to the families that sent in supplies for our Valentine boxes.  The kids had such a fun time decorating their boxes and of course passing out Valentines!    

Dates to Remember
Mon. Feb. 15 - No School  Presidents' Day
Thurs. Feb. 18 - Spring Pictures

Reading - We'll be reading City Green this week.  It is a fictional text about citizens working together to improve their neighborhood.

Vocabulary Words -  excitement, schedule, area, heap, stems, halfway
  
Comprehension Strategy - Students will use a graphic organizer to retell the story.  We will also be writing a narrative about a time something happened in our own neighborhood using temporal words (first, next, then, finally) to describe the event.

Math - We will be working on telling time for the next 2 weeks.  Students should already know how to tell time to the hour and half hour.  We'll be focusing on telling time in 5 minute intervals as well as telling how many minutes are before the next hour.
