February 13 - 17

Dates to Remember...
Tues. Feb. 14 - Valentine exchange in classroom
Thurs. Feb. 16 - Spring Picture Day
Fri. Feb. 17 - No School
Mon. Feb. 20 - No School Presidents' Day

Reading - We'll be reading City Green this week.  It is a fictional text about citizens working together to improve their neighborhood.  We'll focus on the comprehension strategy of retelling.  We'll 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.

Research Project - We'll be sharing our slide shows with the class this week!

Vocabulary words - excitement, schedule, area, heap, stems, halfway
Grammar focus will be on contractions this week.

Math - We will continue to work on telling time this week.  We'll review and take a test on both money and time at the end of the week.  Please continue to practice these 2 important skills at home.

Thank You to all the families that sent in materials for us to decorate Valentine mailboxes, which we'll do on Monday.  

Valentines - The students will be exchanging valentines on Tuesday, Feb. 14.  I ask that you send in 22 valentines (a few extra if you have them for Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Tran). Please have your child sign their name on the back.  No need to address them to each child.  We'll be decorating our valentine boxes on Monday, and the kids will bring all their valentines home on Tuesday.  This is so much fun for the kids!

New Student of the Week - Cameron
Positive Paw Winner - Aidan
Estimation Jar Winner - Mia
