Happy Monday Everyone!


The big news this week is Warrior Walk!  Your sponsor packet came home in your child's take home folder last Friday.  If for some reason you can't locate it and need another one, just let me know.  Thank you for taking the time to ask for sponsors/donors.  I hope that you will be able to come out on Friday to cheer our class on.  We walk from 1:15-1:45.  Our color this year is gray.  So wear as much gray as possible.


What's happening this week:


Reading - We are reading from our science books about animal habitats.  We will practice asking and answering questions and using the illustrations to gain understanding about the text.


Phonics - r-controlled vowels (Bossy R) -ir, -er, -at, -or, -ur


Language - irregular plural nouns (child-children, foot-feet)


Math - Measuring


Science - Life Cycles (Some of our caterpillars are now in a chrysalis!) and animal habitats


Have a wonderful week!

Happy Monday!


This week we are having "Penny Wars" as a special fundraiser to support children and families impacted by childhood cancer.  Tomorrow I will send home a letter that explains this in detail.  Your children can bring in change Tuesday-Thursday to help support this fundraiser.


Please turn in any picture orders by this Thursday.


What's going on this week:
Reading - Animals Building Homes is our focus text.  We are learning to ask questions that can be answered using our texts, using context clues to determine the meaning of words, and using pictures to understand the text.


Phonics - We have a new spelling list of words with short o, u, and e.  Test is on Friday


Language - writing narratives


Math - learning place value


Science - life cycles


If you haven't turned in your request for a parent teacher conference time, please send that back tomorrow.


Have a wonderful week!
