Week 26

     A couple of important notes for the week.  Remember to sign up for Boosterthon, our spring fundraiser.  Information went home last week about this fundraiser.  Also, we have a field trip planned for March 6th.  Be on the lookout for  permission slips and cover letters tonight in homework folders.  Another change you will notice this week, students will have homework in their folders.  Homework will be due by Friday each week. 
     We will be finishing plans from last week due to the inclement weather.  Our sight words this week will be: want, lots, of.  We will continue learning about matter.  In math, we will be continuing our addition unit.  One way that you may help at home would be by providing math story problems and having your child solve them with counters, such as cereal, then write a number sentence to match.  For instance, have them combine  3 blue Fruit Loops plus 4 red Fruit Loops then write 3+4=7.  We are reading books by Laura Numeroff and learning about cause and effect.   We are also comparing and contrasting texts.  We are writing non-fiction texts to go along with our matter unit.  As you can see we will be having a busy week!
