What a Beautiful Monday!

So the weather is going to be fabulous this week!  I am guessing the kids are gonna get kinda soggy so make sure they have boots or they will need to stay on the blacktop.

If you have not returned your child's report card envelope, please do so next week.

This is our final week learning about communities.  Our focus question is, "Do we have everything we need in a community?"  With how much we have learned about communities I think this will be an easy question for the students to answer!

In math, we will continue to work on 10s and 1s.  We will also introduce greater than, less than, and equal to.  We will also introduce the symbols that represent those phrases <, >, =.

On February 3, we will celebrate the 100th day of school.   For homework, each child needs to gather 100 of one edible item to be added to our 100-day stew(trail mix) .  Each child should count the items at home and bring them to school in a gallon size or smaller Ziploc bag to share and display.  Please help your child by making 10 piles of 10 items and then counting by 10 to reach 100.

Examples of items brought in previous years:
Candy hearts   goldfish
Small marshmallows gumdrops
Pretzels    M&M’s
Skittles    Fruit Loops
Wheat Thins   Hershey kisses
Graham sticks   circle soup crackers
Cheerios    gummy bears

Please feel to bring them anytime between now and February 3.


If you want to start the search for Valentine cards, go for it.  We have 21 students in our class.  I will put up a list of names on the blog when the time gets closer.  We will have our Valentines Day party of the 12th so you can start bringing their cards on February 9.

Don't forget Science Night is Friday, January 30 from 6:00-7:30.  This will be a very fun event!  I hope you can make it!
