 February News

We have many things going on this month.  At Scenic we are celebrating Black History Month and Kindness month.  Each day we are trying to compliment a new person.  This is putting many smiles on our faces!  Our Valentine's party was a huge success!  Thank you sooo much for all the goods you sent in for us to enjoy.  We were glad to see you, too.  The boys and girls are working hard in Room 26.

These past few weeks have been busy and the next few are going to be even busier!!  We will be learning about our Presidents, specifically Lincoln and Washington.  In Math we are starting to subutract two digit numbers with trading.  Please be patient!  It takes some time to get use to.  We decorated our classroom like a winter wonderland with SNOWMAN acrostic poems, a WINTER SPLASH about our winter break, and glittered snowflakes hanging from our ceiling.  Our room looks great!  The hallway is lined with Dragon Masks that we decorated for the Chinese New Year and Valentine hearts with some fun poems.  It has been so much fun!  We have been reading poems, working in our Guided Reading groups and Writer's Workshop each afternoon.  

This week we will be reading about Lincoln and Washington and learning some important facts about their lives.  We will also be working on some Social Studies activities, using and reading maps, studying some vocabulary and reviewing our reading skills.  In the next few weeks we will be taking a Skills test each afternoon on some skills we learned.  Our spelling words this week are words about Lincoln and Washington.  We will be seeing and working with these words all week.  I have included the spelling words on this site.  We are practicing the following skills during reading:  Two sounds for "g", compare and contrast, sequence of events, using a map, compound words, fact and opinion, telling sentences and commands.  We have also been writing and practicing using capital letters for proper nouns. Try some of these skills out at home if you get a chance.

100 Book Challenge is logged every day.  We read 2 steps in school and we just bumped our reading up to 3 steps each night.  Our goal this week is to be on step 450 by Sunday!!!!!!  Some have already reached our goal.  Way to go!!!  Please help your child reach this goal by Sunday.

This week in Math we will continue to work on our basic facts in Addition and Subtraction.  Working with 2 and 3-D shapes, vocabulary, number stories,  and partial sums addition algorithm will all be covered in this unit.  Please be patient with the algorithm, it takes time for all of us to get the hang of it!!  The class is doing really well with their ADD Books and word problems every day.  Try to work on money, time and basic facts at home.

Remember to read each of the stories in the brown envelope and write the title on the log sheet with the date please.  When you finish the stories, keep them at home and send the envelope back to school for more goodies!!  

Thanks for all you do for our class.  I am really grateful for all of your help and support!!

Remember you can keep the stories in the brown envelopes after you have read them but please send the envelope back for more!
