February 4 - 8, 2013


NEWS FOR PARENTS!

  
Thank you to all parents who have sent donations!  We appreciate your help SO much!  Also, we want you to know how much we enjoyed our 100th Day Special Treat!  Students went from bowl to bowl, counting out 10 items with a spoon and putting them into a zipbag.  We had M&M's, pretzels, Cheez Its, Teddy Grahams, Cheerios, peanuts, marshmallows... It was delicious :)

**Yearbook sales were scheduled to begin on January 30th.  More information coming soon.


Next PTO meeting will be on Tuesday, Feb. 5th at 6:00.  Pizza and drinks are available at 5:15.  Return bottom portion of the bright green letter you received to reserve your meal!  Red pods will perform :)


**Students began counting money last week.  Parents, please make it a nightly practice to put change on the table:  Quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies up to $1.00.  Have your child put them in order from greatest to least, and "add on."  I am so proud of those who have demonstrated how they practice at home!


 STUDENT OF THE WEEK:  Tassy






LESSONS FOR THIS WEEK:  

 Math: We will continue finding the total values of quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies.  Practice counting coins, putting them in order from greatest to least, and "counting on."

Reading:  Story for this week is "Frogs."  Skill is to compare and contrast. Read this story at home with an adult every night. Written and online test will be on Thursday.

 Spelling: Words with diphthongs "oi" and "oy." Students will practice new words every night!  Parents, please give a practice spelling test on Thursday night. Spelling test will be on Friday.

Grammar: We will continue our study of adjectives, which describe nouns. Last week we learned that adjectives can tell us number, size, and shape. This week we use adjectives that compare.  Grammar test will be on Friday.
