Please send your child in with a white shirt to be decorated
for our 101st day of school celebration by Friday, February 6th. We will decorate these shirts with paint, so
a shirt that is not too important would be best.
Math: We began unit ten on Monday, Comparing and Ordering Numbers
to 100. This unit focuses on 1 more, 1
less, 10 more, 10 less, and comparting and ordering numbers. Students will work with the math symbols for
greater than, less than, and equal to. This
is a quick unit and we will have an assessment on this topic next Wednesday.
Phonics: On Monday we began our eighth unit which focuses on
blends and r controlled vowels.
Additional topics covered in this unit are blending and segmenting words
with up to four sounds, adding the suffix s to words with four sounds, and
reading with accuracy and prosody. This
unit will span two weeks and will conclude before the start of February break.
Writing: Next
week, students will be writing about Catholic Schools Week. At this time, we are looking for students to
independently apply capital letters to the beginning of sentences, as well as
apply appropriate punctuation. Students
are also asked to access the “trick word” wall in the classroom to edit their
spelling of sight words.
Contractions: Students
will begin work with contractions. Using
the book I'm and Won't, They're and Don't: What's a Contraction?,
students will explore the shortened way they can write words.
Enjoy your weekend!
