I hope you all enjoyed the week off from school
and got to spend some quality time with your families and friends. It’s always nice to have a little extra time
at home to refresh! I want to make sure
to thank Shelly Newark for running the Valentine’s party for our class, as well
as all of the other parents who came to help out and/or provided snacks or
paper goods. I’m sorry I had to miss it,
but I heard that it was a lot of fun!
I look forward to seeing the children on
Monday. Here is a look at what’s planned
for the week ahead…
Our rehearsals will continue for the upcoming Dr.
Seuss show. We have 3 practices planned
for the week, and the actual performance will be next Friday, March 4th.
The kids were excited to learn what parts they
would play in the performance, and I’m sure you’re already hearing the songs
being sung at home!
During reading time this week we’ll be finishing
up some loose ends from before vacation.
I’ll meet with a few remaining kids to assess their reading progress in
preparation for our upcoming conferences.
In addition, groups will be finishing up their visualization activities
they began last week.
In math we’ll be teaching the Partial-Sums
Addition Method to combine two and three digit numbers together. This method should look very familiar, as it
is most like the traditional way of adding multiple-digit numbers together.
We’ll also begin looking at subtraction with base 10 blocks as a way of
understanding subtraction before we get into subtraction using regrouping (or
borrowing).
Our travels around the world will bring us to the
continent of Europe this week! On
Tuesday we’ll “leave” Mexico and “fly” to the beautiful city of Rome. We’ll spend this week learning more about the
continent as a whole, and next week we’ll focus in more on Italy.
**Please note that the Reading Log questions this
week are based on non-fiction books.
Please make sure your child chooses at least 1 non-fiction book to read
for their Reading Log so that they’ll be able to answer the questions on the
back. Thank you!!
**Online sign-ups for conferences begins on Monday. Please follow the instructions sent home with
your child. If you have any questions,
feel free contact the front office or myself.
I’m excited to try out this new system for scheduling conferences!
