Newsletter for the Week of February 11 - 15




Dear Family,
Grades Postponed:
Due to the number of absences, we are going to postpone report cards one week.  This will allow time for students to get well before completing our trimester assessments.


Phonics/ Spelling:
This week we will learn the spelling ‘kn’ for the sound /n/.  The rest of the week will be review of our previous sounds and rules.
Our red words for the week are:
great, where, there, many and any.

Math:
In math we will begin to practice adding two digit numbers without regrouping, identifying how many more using a graph, identifying and making congruent shapes, counting large collections and counting by tens, and comparing two digit numbers for greater than and less than. Wow!  That’s a lot!

Social Studies:
We will read about Abraham Lincoln whose birthday is on Tuesday. 
We will also continue to practice our seven continents. 

Science:
We will continue our study of solids, liquids and gases.  We will read the Dr. Seuss story, Bartholomew and the Oobleck and make oobleck – it isn’t a solid, it isn’t a liquid!  Hmmmmmm...

IMPORTANT NOTES:
Late Start on February 15th
Vacation is coming!  No school February 18 – 22
Father/ Daugter Dance “Fairies and Stardust”  February 28th
