Dear Parents,

I hope that all of you had a wonderful weekend. This week we will be talking about the 100^th day of school, Valentine ’s Day, presidents, and our ocean unit! We have a lot to do in a short week! Here’s what else to look for:

Cal Skate Reward :
Please look for information about the trip to Cal Skate scheduled for Friday. If we did not get enough donations we will have to cancel our trip. I am hoping we will still be skating on Friday!

Valentine’s Party :

Don’t forget that our Valentine’s Party is this Friday from 1:30-3:00. Feel free to send supplies in throughout the week if you signed up for something. We would love to have some parent helpers at our party as well to help with stations and with passing out food. Please remember that if you are donating food for the party that we have a student with a peanut allergy.

Supply Donations Needed :

Thank you so much for sending in supplies this week! We are still in need of donations of the following items for our class:

-Healthy Snacks

-Glue Sticks

-Loose Writing Paper

Spelling :

This week we are reading That Toad is Mine! Our spelling words focus on the long “o” sound spelled with “oa” and “ow”. Our spelling words are boat, slow, coat, grow, show, toad, coast & know. One of our spelling sentences is I want the snow to blow again. We will also be creating our 2^nd spelling sentence in class to work on throughout the week. Encourage your child to write the sentences down during class time to bring home and practice.

Math :

We will be finishing up and review number patterns (counting by 2’s, 5’s and 10’s) and comparing numbers (greater than/less than). In addition to reviewing previous concepts, we will be working on adding strategies, such as finding missing numbers.
