Dear Parents and Guardians,
We have had lots of fun hearing the
adventures that our class penguin Frosty has had! Just a reminder, please have your child pack
all the items back in the plastic bag and then into the canvas bag just the way
your child received them. Next week is
the beginning of February and time to start thinking about Valentine’s
Day. If your child plans to buy or make
valentines for the students in 2R, please make sure to include everyone. The list of names is attached. We will have a Valentine’s Day exchange on
Tuesday, February 14.
In the Classroom
In Writer’s Workshop, the kids
are happily making books on anything from animals to weather. They are using technology to do research with
a program called Pebble-Go. Here is the
link so you can try it at home. https://pebblego.com
The kids are getting better at developing
the structure to write their opinion. They
start with an introduction and include reasons to support their opinion and end
with a conclusion.
The F & P reading assessments for
January are complete. The focus for the
rest of the year continues to be fluency, accuracy and comprehension. Thanks for your support with the reading
calendar we send home each month!
In Math, we will begin Unit 6 on
Monday. This unit will focus on collecting
data and displaying it on a picture graph and a bar graph. Children will solve number stories that
describe comparison situations. They
will also begin to solve 2-digit addition and subtraction problems.
Please continue to work with your child
on the packet of addition and subtraction facts that were sent home. Let me know if you need another copy. This skill is an important one for your child
to develop automaticity in so that they can quickly and accurately recite the
facts.
Sincerely,
