Folders and reports cards Thursday

Green folders will go home on Thursday this week instead of Wednesday.  Your child's report card can be found in their green folder.  Please be careful when reviewing your report card with your child.  Focus on improvements even if they are small.  Try to help them set some reasonable and attainable goals for next quarter.

Thanks to those of you who brought snacks.  If you have not brought snacks yet, we should be good for a couple of weeks so just bring them when you can.

The time of Science Night has changed.  It will be from 6:00-7:30 on Friday, January 30.  PTA is still looking for helpers for this event.  You do not need to have any science background to volunteer. Shifts are from 6:00-6:45 and 6:45-7:30. There is a link to the PTA on the right side of the blog. Last year, the kids loved this event!  I am sure it is going to be even better this year!

Now that we are done with our assessments, we are back to our normal reading schedule.  We are still learning about communities.  This week we are focusing on neighbors and how they play together.

In spelling, we are working on words that contain ch, tch, and wh.  Please practice the spelling words with your kiddos.  It makes such a huge difference in their success.

In math, we are continuing place value.  This is a very important concept.  We will spend all of 3rd quarter focusing on place value.  This week we will still be using rods (10s) and units (1s) to represent two-digit numbers.  We will also continue to become more familiar with the 100s chart and writing numbers 1-100.

Have a great week!
