*There is no school Monday, January 16th and Tuesday, January 17th.
*We will have spelling homework this week. The new spelling list will be going home today, January 13th.
*In Math, we will do more exploring with base 10 blocks and place value. We will also focus on measuring and comparing larger numbers. We have learned lots of math games this past week that can be played with a regular deck of cards (A-10.) The games are "Before & After," "Addition Top It" and "The Digit Game."
*In Science, we will finish up our unit on Light & Sound. Students will explore "How do people use light and sound to send messages. The class will work in teams to create a secret code that uses light or sound. They will use the code to play a game similar to "Simon Says."
*On Friday, we will assess students on handwriting. This informal assessment is given bi-monthly to assess student's progress in handwriting. At this point, I am looking for students to be starting letters at the top, using mostly lowercase letters and checking and fixing sinkers and floaters. Ask your kiddos what a sinker and floater are.
*We are in need of plastic forks and spoons for snacktime.
