Dear Parents,
What a great, productive week! The scholars did an outstanding job studying their spelling words and learning all about pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. The results were clear on their spelling and math tests... JOB WELL DONE!
Working with our “short e” sounds, and getting ready for St. Patrick’s Day, we created rainbows and posted them on our bulletin board in the front hallway of school. If you haven’t spotted them yet, please turn to the right as you enter the school doors. They turned out fantastic!
This Week’s Lessons...
In Phonics, we will continue learning about “short e” sounds and words. We will continue reading Red Hen and start Jet Bed in the middle of the week. Our spelling words include sounds we’ve heard while rhyming and reading. We will work on these words throughout the week with different assignments. Please remember to study the words with your scholar at home. Our spelling test is at 9:10 a.m. on Friday.
In math, we will start Chapter 9: Measurement. We will be learning about things that are short and long and compare things to see what is shortest and longest. It’s a fun chapter with many opportunities to continue the learning at home!
Family Project: Grow!
This handout will come home on Monday:
Please email me or post a comment below if you have any questions. Note the two due dates.
St. Patrick’s Day
Our St. Patrick’s Day festivities will take place on Friday, March 16th. Please sign up to bring in a special snack (either in the morning or afternoon). We will be doing some fun art projects throughout the week to get ready for holiday. Please keep an eye on the school doors for any news Ms. Diane posts for Friday’s activities.
Volunteering...
We now have a calendar hanging on the “NEWS” bulletin board by the front door of our classroom. Please flip through the months and sign up for a few spots. Separate volunteer sign-up forms will go out for holiday parties (as usual, on our clipboard).
As Always...
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to email me, stop by the classroom, talk to Ms. Diane, or leave a comment on our blog. Please become a “follower” of our blog and “like” our school’s Facebook page, if you haven’t already done so.
Have a terrific week!
Mrs. Stuhr
I know this is one post late but I wanted to make sure to share a website with everyone. It is called spellingcity.com
ReplyDeleteIt is great! You can enter in the spelling words for the week and print out pages for your child to do. Every week we have been doing the missing letter page and alphabetize page. There are also a bunch of other fun activities you can do on the site. Most everything is free or there is an option to sign up and you get access to more.
