I hope you all enjoyed your extended mid-winter break! We are back at it this week and will begin with our math facts as usual on Tuesday. Please be sure that your child is studying these facts each night. If your child is done with their facts, please use Moby Max or flashcards to practice a few times a week (multiplication & division) to be sure they retain the information.
Last week we had a guys group meeting planned that ended up being canceled. We will reschedule that meeting for this Thursday! Please send in a tie with your son. We plan to practice tying ties and playing some fun games. This is an opportunity to learn some leadership skills and form new friendships. I will be planning a similar meeting with the girls in a few weeks! This week we will be using our exceptional math skills to teach others. We will have an opportunity to create Show Me videos as well as teach some second graders how to subtract with regrouping. This unit has been a nice break from the harder math that we have done in the past! The students are really doing well! We are almost ready for our next book club meeting. It will be taking place on Thursday, February 19th at 6:00pm. The book that we will be celebrating is Hatchet. Please be sure that you have read the book so that you are able to attend! I am really looking forward to this meeting. More details to come! Valentine's Day Valentine's Day is just around the corner (I can't believe it!) which means, there is a lot of talk about what our party will be! I am planning on doing candy science as our party. I figured we could see what all of that sugar can really do through a series of fun experiments. I am looking for a few volunteers to help with running an experiment group. If you are interested in donating an item for our science experiments, please let me know! Please email me if you are interested in either one of these things. I am forever grateful for all of your support! We will be passing out Valentines in class. If your child is interested in bringing in valentines, please have them sign only the "from" line to make passing the cards out quick and easy! We have 26 students in our classroom! Math: This week we will be putting our math skills (and teaching skills) to the test. We will be taking some time to teach second graders and create videos that demonstrate our knowledge. Social Studies: We will be starting with our presentations on the legends that we read. We will then start to talk about the fur trade and explorers. Grammar: This week our focus will be on sentences having a subject and a predicate. We will be looking over old writing and identifying sentences that were incomplete. Writing: This week we will be working on our glossary, planning our pictures, and writing our captions for our informational writing. Reading: This week we will be using graphic organizers to help us to organize information from our informational text. Reminders: PE - Tuesday & Friday Feb.10 - Parent Club meeting 9am Library - Friday
