Well, it’s January and it is cold outside. We are reminding everyone to make sure you are bundled up for the cold weather. The children will not be going outside during extremely cold temperatures, but when we do go outside, they will need their coats. Please be aware of the temperatures and encourage them to wash their hands regularly or use the Germ-X when possible to help control the spread of germs during this flu/cold season.
Guided reading has continued with small group work. Next week there will be mid-year TPRI testing during our reading time. Our word-work last week focused on nouns and this week we will incorporate verbs into our sentence structure. The students will combine what they know about adjectives, nouns, and verbs in building exciting sentences in their writing.
Time to the hour and half-hour has been the topic of math both last week and this week. Practice this at home as well and always look for math homework for extra practice. In science we have discussed and analyzed winter weather and temperatures.
Next Monday is a school holiday recognizing Martin Luther King Jr. Our social studies readings this week will be recognizing MLK Jr. for his achievements.
Our second semester is well on its way and it will go by before you know it, just as the first semester did. Please be aware of all upcoming events and feel free to call or email if you need me. Thanks for all that you do!
Mrs. Benson
