Monday

This past Saturday was such a nice taste of what is to come this Spring!!!!  We are all so ready.

However, we need to keep wearing socks and bringing coats to school.  Our playground is quite chilly and the wind blows EVERYDAY!

Our reading test over, "Brothers and Sisters" will be tomorrow, Tuesday, February 25.
Our new spelling words are contractions....with the exception of 2 of them.

Thursday

It's so hard to believe that it is already the 20th of February!  Time truly flies!

The class is working on money in math.  I need the students to learn the value of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters, and combinations of those.  The best practice is real-life experience.  Please get a small handful of coins and have your child practice counting the money.  Have them start with the greatest value of coin first and go down to the lowest value.

The class has homework tonight on counting money.

Another spelling test tomorrow.

Enjoy the warmer temperatures and be mindful of any areas where it is prone to flood.

Wednesday

The students are bringing home their Progress Reports.  Remember that the grade on the Progress Report is a reflection of what your child's grade was last Friday when I had to submit the grades.  As I put in grades in the computer your child's grade changes.

Spelling test tomorrow!

If your child says they got wet at recess they are probably right!  With all of the melting snow and ice our playground is a bit soggy.

It was so good to put in a full day of school!  I bet everyone sleeps good tonight!

It will be a fun week leading up to two class birthdays and Valentine's Day!!  We hope the weather cooperates and we can be in school all week!  Routine is good and we all need it!

Please turn in all Blizzard Bag work by Thursday, February 13.  

Our spelling list this week is the one from last week.

Our story we are working on is, "The Great Ball Game."

Soon our math lessons will be with money and time.
