Week 22: Valentine's Day and Kids Heart Challenge

Friday is both Valentine's Day and Kids Heart Challenge. We will be jumping in the morning from 8:45-9:15am. Please make sure your child has a reusable water bottle and it has a name and room number on it. You may come watch and/or participate. The kids love to see the parents out there. Just make sure to check in and get a volunteer badge.

Valentine's boxes are due. I will have some Trader Joe's bags as backups who did not bring a box. Make sure the box is labeled! If you are sending your child with Valentine's cards, please have them in a labeled bag and they will remain in their backpacks until they can pass them out at the end of the day. If the bag is too big, there may be room in the classroom to store them.

*No individual names, please. Just write your child's name on it. Students cannot read each other's name and it takes too long to pass them out if they have names on them.

*No food/candy please.

Trimester 2 Report Cards are less than a month away. It's already time for assessments. Here is the Trimester 2 Checklist. Use it to check of things that your child can do and still needs more practice.

Here are the topics for the week:

Language Arts:  This is a review week. We will review letters and sounds as well as sight words from that last several weeks.

Math:  We will be continuing writing, decomposing, and counting teen numbers as well as review other skills.

SLD/Writing:  We will continue talking about what we did in the past in the form of a narrative. Students will work with their older buddies to create tech projects around this topic.

NGSS Science:   We will be continuing our sequence about nocturnal animals. Students will research a few different animals and draw a model about how they get their needs met and when during the day.
