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!
