Spelling/Phonics: This week will be a long vowel review. The words are: AWAY, PLEASE, NIGHT, THOSE, CUTE.
Math: We will be taking the Topic 5 assessment this week and starting Topic 6. Miss Montesarchio is doing a great job teaching math.
Science: Last week we had a great visit by a scientist on shadows. It was a great tie in to Groundhog Day.
Social Studies: We will be starting to learn about "Wants and Needs". This topic is timely in terms of the earthquake in Haiti. The focus on this unit is to learn about the things all human beings need versus the things we want.
Valentine's Day: We will be celebrating Valentine's Day this Friday with a lunch pizza party in our classroom. The Room Moms will be reminding the parents who signed up for paper goods, drinks, pizza and dessert. If your child doesn't want pizza for lunch, please make sure to send in a lunch for them. We will be decorating bags for collecting all of our cards. Some families have told me they are leaving early for vacation. Reassure your child that we will make sure they get their cards after break. Cards can be sent in before Friday.
