This is just a reminder that we will be having a Valentine’s Party on Feb. 12th during the afternoon. We will be playing a few educational games and then will have a few snacks. The kids will need to bring in Valentine’s for each student in the class (24). I have found that it is a lot easier to have each student write their own name on the Valentine in the “From” section and not writing everyone elses name on the “To” section. That way they can be passed out much more quickly. All Valentine’s need to be brought in by Friday morning (the 12th).
On our website you can see pictures of a secret surprise we had last week. We had such a blast…literally!
A field trip (on campus) letter will be sent home this week. Your child will need to bring in $8.50 by April 6, 2010. We are about to start our unit on plants and soil in the next few weeks and would love for our kids to have the opportunity to experiment with different types of soils and plants.
Objectives this week:
*Math- multiplication and division word problems, order of operations (Pass My Dad A Spoon), properties of multiplication and addition, fractions (reducing)
*Reading- types of fiction, story elements: characters, problem (conflict), solution (resolution), setting, theme
*Writing-Personal Narrative short story…almost done! Will begin working on Imaginative Narratives thanks to the Story Starter Wheel on Scholastic.com. They can write a story using this at home too!!!
