Update January 8th

We will continue much of the same work that we started last week, this week.  With the warmer temperatures this week, we hope to get out to recess each day this week.  Students will need to have snow boots, snow pants, coats, gloves and hats in order to play in the snow.  Otherwise, they will play on the hardtop during recess time.

*In Math, we continue to focus on place value. Students are doing well with making exchanges when the ones place is 10 or higher.  A simple game that you can play at home is Dollar Exchange.  I will teach this game tomorrow during math.

One-Dollar Exchange: Players roll the dice and put the number of pennies on their Place-Value mats. Whenever possible, they exchange 10 pennies for 1 dime. The first player to make an exchange for $1 wins! 

*In Spelling, we are working on words that have digraphs.  Digraphs are when two consonants work together to produce a new sound, such as -ch, -sh and -th.

Looking Ahead:

No School, Monday, January 15th for Martin Luther King Jr. Day
No School, Tuesday, January 16th for Professional Development
We will have no spelling list the week of January 15th.
