Update January 14th

Hello Families,

This week we are back into our normal routine. Our reading selection this week is "From Seed to Plant". We are looking at the consonant clusters -str, - thr, -spr. Look for these patterns in the Spelling words as well. We are continuing looking at proper nouns with a closer look at the months of the year. Encourage your child to use the Harcourt link at this website to practice all of the Grammar skills.

In Math we will continue our look at Geometry with more line segments, parallel lines, and 3d objects. We will also continue addition of 2 digit numbers. Keep up the great work!!! We will be completing Unit 5 this week, have a review and the Unit test early next week.

Look for the class list to come home so that students can begin to work on Valentine's Day cards. We will be having a small party to celebrate. Did you know that it is Clifford the Big Red Dog's Birthday as well? Look for more details and requests for treats in the beginning of February. Thanks!

As always, THANK YOU for all of your support at home and in school!

Waiting for some SNOW,

Mrs. Scull
