· Language Arts/Reading: We have been working on syllables and writing this month. Kids are really starting to read and not just the sight words! It is very exciting for all of us!
· Math: Our main focus has been measuring using our feet and standard feet. We’ve also worked on exchanging ones for fives and tens. (Ex: 10 ones—exchange for a ten)
· Science: We learned about Groundhog’s Day and made predictions. Students also have learned a lot about the different kinds of weather this month.
· Writing: Students have been working hard on using a finger space between each word in a sentence, using only an uppercase letter at the beginning of a sentence, and some form of punctuation at the end of the sentence. I am so proud of their progress!
Important Dates:
March 13 & 15: Parent/Teacher Conferences (Early Out at 1:oo)
March 16-25: No School--Spring Break
What to work on at home:
· Please continue to work on tying shoes at home. I still have a lot of kids who don’t know how to tie their shoes!
· Please challenge your child to work on number stories. Include the words (have your child sound them out) and the number model (1+4=5). They can do addition or subtraction! :)
· Please work on writing at home. You can work on simple 3-letter words or sentences.
Please feel free to contact me at any time!
