Literacy: We read the book Snowmen at Night by Caralyn Buehner .   The children focused on strategies that good readers use when they read.  The focus strategy this week was retelling details. The children worked with partners to identify important details and retell the story. They really enjoyed sharing information about the story using picture cards.

*Attached are Jolly Phonics Tricky Words that the students are learning to read and use when they write sentences.  The children may keep this list to use at home.

Math: “How Big Is A Foot?”   The children found out why it is important to have a standard unit of measure.  They compared their cut out foot to an actual foot sized foot. They soon discovered that there is a big difference in size and measurement.

Valentine’s Day: Valentine’s Day is fast approaching.  We will be having our Valentine’s party on Tuesday, Feb. 14^th from 12:30 to 1:30p.m. Your child may bring Valentine’s for his/her classmates.  If your child is showing an interest in reading and writing his/her classmates name, please help him/her print them on each envelope (see list below). If not, please leave the envelopes blank, but sign the cards.  Your child will pass Valentine’s to every child in the room.  Please write on all of the envelopes or none of them.  Thank you!
