We are finishing up unit N this week and will have our Super Smart on Friday. Then on Monday, we will start unit 4 of Superkids' Club! We are moving right along! In the next unit the Superkids will get a boss for their club--stay tuned to find out what fun name the boss has!
Superkids Test
Speaking of Superkids, the class took or started taking the first Superkids' Club progress test today in computer lab. Once everyone has finished and I have those results recorded, I will send the test score sheets home. Be on the lookout and let me know if you have questions or concerns!
Math
This week in math we will be doing the following:
- introducing the dime
- making coin exchanges (5 pennies for 1 nickle, ect.)
- drawing number stories
- counting by 2s to 20
Writer's Workshop
This week in Writer's Workshop I introduced 5 new posters on our writing wall to help students remember the 5 parts of a great sentence. They are:
- capital letter at beginning of sentence
- lower case letters throughout sentence
- sight words spelled correctly
- finger spaces between words
- correct punctuation at end of sentence
As students are writing, if they remember all 5 on their own without my help, they have started getting a sticker on their notebook page. I know a sticker doesn't sound like much, but they LOVE it! It's great motivation for them to write their sentences correctly. As you watch your child write at home, please help them remember the 5 parts of a great sentence.
Skippyjon Jones Play
In your child's folder today you will find a pink permission slip to go to a Skippyjon Jones play at the high school on MONDAY! We apologize for the SHORT notice, but we just found out today that we could go. Please sign and return either tomorrow or Friday, and if the money is an issue to get before Monday, please let me know so the school can help. We are very excited about it! I actually have the Skippyjon Jones book in our classroom library that the play is based on, so the boys and girls are really excited to see it come to life! We won't need chaperones for this day, but check out the next opportunity below!
Children's Museum Field Trip
Yesterday your child brought home a yellow permission slip for the Children's Museum field trip on March 7th. Due to our generous PTO buying a school membership, the only cost for your child is $1 to ride the carousel that day. We will need lots of chaperones this day so please consider coming! Money and permission slips are due February 29th.
Art to Remember Forms
Today in folders you will find Art to Remember order forms from Mrs. Garrett. There is no pressure to order. But if you would like to order an item with your child's artwork on it there are lots of great options! The order form/money is due February 24th.
Mercedes--Clip Hall of Fame
Today we had a HUGE celebration!! As you may remember, every time a child clips up to pink, they get a sticker on their clip. When they have 5 stickers, their clip gets "retired" onto the Clip Hall of fame chart. Then they get a new, special colored clip to start using every day. Today we had our first friend clip up to pink for the first time and become the first member of the hall of fame! Way to go Mercedes! We had a little celebration for her at the end of the day. Ask your child how close they are to becoming part of the hall of fame--we have several that are so close!
WHEW! That was a lot today! Thanks for reading all the way to the end. Have a great day!
