Early release is scheduled for 11:30 tomorrow for teacher training. Please make arrangements for any changes in transportation in the planner!

Also March 8th your sweeties will be in a program. They have all worked very hard to learn songs, speaking parts, and their entertainment for you! I hope you all can make it! It will be at 9:00 a.m.

Last week our class received the coveted GOLDEN FORK in the cafeteria!! This is a huge honor for our Primary School! This means we have been using manners and working hard on our cafeteria behavior!

There will be a lot of hustle and bustle going on tomorrow with all of the Valentine parties going on. Please do not eat lunch with your sweetheart prior to the party. If you would like to help set up with our party instead, that would be perfect!! I know y’all love those sweet little Valentine’s but our cafeteria is only so big. Our party will start at 11:15.  You can take them home after the party if you want to.  There will be a sign out sheet by my door

.

Ms. Jones helped me out since I wasn’t here on Friday!

Last week CHAMPs

Our Valentine Party will be this Wednesday, the 14th at 11:15. Set up begins at 10:45. We will be ready to party right after lunch. We hope you all can come. You will be free to check them out following the party. We made Valentine bag at school to collect our valentines.

This week in class:

Word work: Students will add verbs to their list of parts of speech. These will be related to the nouns and adjectives in their reading and writing.

Guided reading will continue. Please continue to read every night! And books from home may also be included on the log! Limit 2 spaces per night. They are working to fill those reading logs for that PIZZZAAAAA

Spelling/Writing: . New spelling words will come home on Monday and the test will be  next Tuesday.

Words are: two, her, more, has, other, like, him, see, time, could. Parents, it is very important that students study these words at home as well as at school along with ones previously from the beginning of the year until now.

Math: Last week and continuing through the next couple weeks, students will be practicing time to the hour and 1/2 hour, identifying the name and value of coins, and problem solving with addition and subtraction. I encourage you to practice time on an analog clock and counting and naming coins.

Social Studies: We have started teeth awareness and learning about teeth and reading Valentine’s Day books. We will begin to read and learn about presidents of the past and present. This will continue through next week.

Dates to Remember:

February 19: President’s Day Holiday

February 28: Early Student Release at 11:30/ Teacher Training

Thanks for all you do!

Graded papers are coming home today. Please take time to go over these papers with your child for guidance and/or praise.

A Valentine’s Day Party note is coming home as well. If you plan to send valentines please be sure all 18 kids in our class receive one. Name will be on the note. First name only, is acceptable.  Christy Clinnard is the room mother for this party and will be contacting her list of volunteers from the beginning of the year. If have any ideas, want to help, or want to send something you may text her at (903) 241-5544. THANK YOU CHRISTY!!!!!

Spelling words for the week: two, her, more, has, other

Continuing guided reading.

Science:The final week of penguin research is this week!

Math: We have been working on coins, and time to the hour HARD. We will begin time to half hour tomorrow. Anything you can do at home is helpful. Coins always get them and I think it’s because we don’t use cash and coins as much (thanks to the card) so if you have change anywhere, asking them to identify it and count it up will help them tremendously.

Writing: Adjectives review and adding into writing, along with the study of verbs being introduced.

We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day on Wednesday, February 14, 2017, in Room 118 from 11:15-12:15.  **Set-up 10:45- 11:15

Your child will be decorating white paper bags to carry their Valentines in. We need your help so they can be amazing! Please send stickers, glittery fun stuff, hearts, or anything to decorate our bags with. Also, if you could send white bags with handles on them, that would be great! Please send the materials by Wednesday, February 7, so I can get more supplies, if needed.

I do not currently have a volunteer for heading up the party, so if you would like to be in charge of assigning snacks, plates, drinks, etc. feel free to text me (903)985-0778 or email [email protected] and I will be sure you get the list of parents from the beginning of the year and what they would like to donate for our awesome PARTAY!!

I will be sending home a note with all the names of children so you can begin filling out invitations. We have 18 students so be sure you buy enough for everyone to have one! Thank you so much for all you do!
