Thank you to those who donated items for our Valentine's Day party. The kids had a blast! We played a Minute to Win It game- how many candy hearts can you stack with two non sharpened pencils, mixed up sentence candy bar hunt, passed out Valentines, and enjoyed each others company while having some delicious snacks. It was a great time!
February is dental health month. Now that we are done with Groundhogs Day, 100's day, Valentine's Day and all of the other fun interruptions, we are starting our dental health unit. February is a busy month!
In reading, we have another close read this week with the book, "This Is Our Earth." We will continue learning about natural resources with a focus on why we need to protect the earth and what we can do to protect the earth.
In spelling, we will be learning about long a. I am also going to start grading handwriting. I will choose 10 kids one week and 9 the next. They will get a percentage. All letters need to be on the line properly. Pay attention to the top line, bottom line ,and the middle line. Here are some links that you can print off practice sheets. Just click!
lower case letters
upper case letters
I was hoping to wrap up our Billings book in writing last week. However, the kids are really into it and are taking their time to do an excellent job. We will continue to work on our Billings book and hopefully wrap it up this week.
In math, we will continue with greater than, less than, equal to, 10 more and 10 less.
The Lion's Club will be here tomorrow afternoon to teach us about the American flag. They come out every year to give this presentation to first graders throughout our school district. The kids learn some cool facts about the flag and even get a flag to take home!
Valentine's Day Fun! Have a great week!
