Week of February 10th
Happy Valentine’s Week everyone!! I hope all of your babies have got plenty of rest this weekend and are feeling better! You may begin sending valentine cards with your child tomorrow — please send them no later than Thursday! We will pass them out before Friday so they can look through them all during the party.

Spelling – no new spelling words this week! We will review all words throughout the week.
Phonics – we will finish up our unit on r-controlled vowels with er, ir, and ur. Then we will introduce and work with compound words and their meanings. Here is a great compound word song —> Compound Boogie
Reading/Writing – we will begin a unit on Author’s Purpose — to persuade, to inform, to entertain. Each kiddo will bring one “special something” from home on Tuesday. We will use this “special something” to practice writing to persuade, writing to inform, and writing to entertain! ASSESSMENT THURSDAY
Math – we will begin a unit on telling time! This week we will learn and identify analog vs. digital clocks, the parts of a clock, and time to the hour (o’ clock). We will make our own clocks in class to use for the duration of this unit. BrainPopJr. has a great video for telling time to the hour with additional resources. Click here to access the video. TIME ASSESSMENT THURSDAY
Social Studies – we will learn about U.S. Symbols this week including the American Flag, the White House, the Statue of Liberty, the Bald Eagle, and Mt. Rushmore.
Please continue to read with your kiddo each night and have them complete their response in their journal! Graded paper folders will come home tomorrow — please keep their papers at home with you 🙂
If you have any questions/concerns please do not hesitate to contact me at any time! See you all on Friday!
