Here we are, along with 1st Grade, with the can donations for Peter's Pantry. Thanks so much for donating!Greetings Families!
I hope that you are all enjoying this beautiful winter wonderland! We are off to a great week - celebrating Reading! Please send in your reponse to our invitation for you to come in and read ASAP. THANKS! I will contact you with a specific time.
This week we will be reading across Elmer School on Tuesday morning. In between guest readers we will be continuing Language Arts with our selection "Dear Mr. Blueberry". Our reading focus strategy this week is read ahead for understanding, and making inferences. The students will be learning the vowel patterns /oo/, /ue/. In Grammar we will continue focusing on descriptive words.
In Math we are continuing Unit 7 - adding and subtracting numbers - applying this to weight measurement and practicing algorithms - both carrying and partial sums for addition, and trade first for subtraction. Please continue to practice Rocket Math facts keeping in mind the goal of starting the subtraction facts for speed in April. THANKS!!! A huge congratulations goes to ALL those who have moved on to Subtraction! Keep up the awesome fact power!
We will continue practicing our song for the PTA Covered Dish Dinner to be held Tuesday, March 10th. We are asking all students to wear GREEN shirts and BLUE jeans for this event. I hope to see everyone there!
We are also looking forward to our guest storyteller, Mrs. Yvonne Stefan, this Friday afternoon. She will be telling pioneer stories and playing 2 old time instruments - a fiddle and a dulcimer.
Stay Warm!
Mrs. Scull
