Parents,

What a week! Thanks for your patience and understanding as we all dealt with the winter weather. I know my family enjoyed playing in all the snow. I hope your’s did as well!!

A few things to note for next week:
– Chocolate bunny fundraiser money is due MONDAY! Please, if you have sold any, send it in on Monday. Remember, keep the actual colored order form. Just send back the paper filled out and the money envelope.
– Today a book order came home in your child’s folder. It is due Friday, March 6th. I have added the class code at the top of the order form if you choose to order online. If you want to send me your order, please make sure that you only send checks – no cash!
– We did not take a spelling test today due to the weather week we have had. We have already written the same spelling words on next week’s page. Please be sure to continue studying!

I hope you have a great weekend! Stay warm!

Today we are going to practice are champs assembly. Tomorrow is the real champs assembly, and Mrs. VanBrocklin is going to pick someone to pass out the awards. – Kyah

Parents,

Reminder that tomorrow is our CHAMPs assembly at 8:00. Please make sure you child is here by 7:45 so we can make it to the stage on time. They are all doing a great job.

Also, please continue to send any box tops you might have! We will have math homework tonight – more subtraction with regrouping! We are all working hard to learn and understand this process.

Today we practiced our part on the stage. We learned about George Washington, and we have math homework. We all are waiting for Valentine’s Day, and we have a new student in our class! She is nice and fun and playful. -Kyah

Parents,

Today I am sending home a revised copy of the Valentine letter. We did get a new student today, and I wanted to make sure to add her name to our list.

Also, we do have homework tonight. It is subtraction with regrouping. We have worked all last week and this week on the process of subtraction with regrouping. We first ask ourselves “Is there more on top or more on the floor?” If there’s more on the top, there’s no need to stop! If there’s  more on the floor, then we go next door and regroup 10 more! If your child has difficulty on these problems, please attempt them, and I will go over it with them tomorrow. Also, if they need to draw out the tens and ones to help them solve it, they may do so on the back!

I could definitely tell my kiddos that practiced their CHAMPs assembly part last night! Please make sure to do that again tonight. We practiced on the stage this morning, and it is all coming together! Thanks!

Today we did suffixes and prefixes and this Friday we are doing the CHAMPs assembly. Every one of us have a part in it. Today we have the same spelling words and tomorrow we get to practice on the stage. We are bringing home our part in our CHAMPs assembly. We are not having snowballs any more for our behavior chart. We are having love balls and we all love people. – Kyah

Parents,

Kyah has some great information for you today! We are having the same spelling words from last week. There will be a spelling test on Friday.

Also, our CHAMPs assembly is Friday morning at 8:00. Please make sure that your child is here on time that morning. I sent home a note for every child with their part on it. Please practice it this week. Every child has a part, and every part is important!

I also sent home a letter about our Valentine’s party. It is next Friday, February 13th, from 12:00-1:00. Please see the note for instructions about the Valentine’s cards for the students.

If you have any questions about anything you can always email or call me! Thanks!

We have started right back into a routine and are ready to learn! Please continue to read every night. Tonight there is math graphing homework as well.
