Field Trip On Wednesday, February 12th, we will be
taking a field trip to Kirkland Fine Arts Center at Millikin University to see the play
Pinocchio. The cost of admission is $4 and if you would be willing to send an extra $1-2 dollars for bus cost (making the total cost $5 or $6) . We unfortunately don’t have funding for busses this year for field trips so in order to still go, we need a little help from you and
teachers are covering the additional cost. Students who have a bus suspension or office referral between Monday, January
27th- and Wednesday, February 12th will be unable to attend. Please talk with your child about making good choices so he/she can
attend. I will begin collecting permission slips and money on Monday, January 27th.
WritingThis week we did some
catching up with our writing since it is a review week. We wrote about our families and
things we like to do with them. Students also wrote about
school including their favorite subject and why, as well as something they still hope to
learn this year. Last week, we did contraction surgery where we transformed the classroom
into a hospital and became doctors to make contractions!
Tens and OnesIn math, we started topic 8 last week by counting groups of 10 and leftovers. This
week we continued with making numbers with tens, counting tens and ones using base ten blocks, and began expanded form (24= 20 + 4). We have
been doing a mix of paper fact tests and responder fact tests daily along with
continuing to graph results so they can see their growth. I am VERY proud of
the progress made on facts- both addition and subtraction!
Life Long Ago/MatterIn Social Studies, we learned about pilgrims this week. Next week,
we will have our social studies test over Unit 3. For Science, We finished studying matter learning about solids, liquids, and gasses.
Star of the Week for January 27h- January 31st will be Marante! We are looking forward to learning more about him.
Honor AssemblyCongrats to all who received an award at the Honor Roll Assembly. It was wonderful to see so many family and friends in the
audience to cheer the kids on. Thank you for your continued support…we can’t do it
without you!
100th Day of SchoolOn Thursday, January 30th, we will be
celebrating our 100th day of school! We will do activities throughout the day related to the 100th
