100th Day Celebration: Thank you to everyone who was able to help us out with items for our books at school and our special 100th Day Snack!
PTO News: Thank you for supporting the Box Top BLITZ! Our class collected OVER 800 Box Tops!!
Valentine’s Day-No Deliveries Please:
Please refrain from sending deliveries of gifts, balloons, flowers, etc. to school for Valentine’s Day. This can not only cause a disruption of teaching and learning but can create a disturbance for students who may not receive gifts. It also can become dangerous for items to be carried home that are breakable. Please choose a location outside of school to share these items with your child. Thanks! Mrs. Henderson
MISSING: We are missing 4 100 BC books. Please be on the lookout at home for any books that may be hiding. Thank you!
100 Book Challenge: Congratulations to our most recent 100th step earner, Gage!
HOORAY! McKenzie earned her 200th step last week!! Way to go! Is YOUR child reading for at least 30 minutes at home?
Language Arts: We are continuing to learn the differences in informational text and reading stories. We’re learning more about contractions and compound words and unusual vowel sounds. We are focusing on THINKING more about our reading before, during, and after we read. We’ve been reading BIOGRAPHIES. Ask your child to tell you what they are! And finally, we are really focusing on CONVENTIONS in our writing: spelling, capitalization, punctuation, spacing and handwriting.
Math: We will be measuring with feet, inches, and eventually centimeters. We are working on counting combinations of coins, as well as representing amounts in a variety of ways. We’re reviewing telling time to the half hour and adding with speed and accuracy. We’ll be learning ways we can use our addition facts to help us with subtraction. (If we know 5+5=10, then 10-5=5.)
Social Studies: We had a visit from KOBA, the Keep Oconee Beautiful Association. We learned the importance of taking care of our community and environment.
Science: February is Dental Health Month! We’ll be learning ways to take care of our teeth and stay healthy throughout the month.
