January Snack Calendar
Thursday, January 19th
This week, we have been reading several of Jan Brett's books. The artwork in her books is very unique! If you haven't read any of her books you should check them out at the library!
Our sight words this week are COME and IN. We also continue to review all our other sight words every week. In our literacy centers this week, we have been practicing spelling, rhyming, and handwriting as well as writing sentences. Continue to practice saying words slowly with your child at home. This will help students become more independent with their writing!
In math, we are finishing chapter 6. This chapter includes numbers 10-30. We have been talking about how to write these numbers and the difference between ones and tens. We also review ones and tens each day during calendar time. Today is our 89th day of school!!! (8 tens and 9 ones) Watch for a note coming home about the 100th day of school. We need some parents to volunteer materials for our activities for that week.
This week we have also been talking about different polar animals. We have been discussing a different animal each day and recording facts on a class chart. So far, we have learned about polar bears, penguins, and seals. Ask your child what facts he/she remembers about these different animals.
Reminders:
Next week we have an EARLY RELEASE day on Wednesday.
Library day is Tuesday - PLEASE be sure your child has his/her book so everyone can check out a new one!
The weather has been very cold lately. Be sure your child is properly dressed for two 20 minute recesses every day!
Don't forget to send shoes with your child for inside the classroom.

Happy New Year!!!
I hope everyone had a relaxing holiday and winter break. I am happy to be back into the swing of the school year. I was so happy with the way our class came back after the New Year. Everyone has been great listeners and hard workers this last week.
This month, we are talking about mittens, snowmen, and Jan Brett books. Last week we made snow people and wrote short stories about them. We also reviewed all the sight words we have learned so far this year.
This week, we are learning the word DO. We practice making words at many different letter centers. We are taking time every day to read books from our book bins with a partner or on our own and Mrs. Skeels has started to take guided reading groups. We are also writing a lot more each week and are practicing handwriting.
In math, we have started chapter 6 which looks at numbers 10-30, graphing, and other review.
Things to practice at home with your child this week:
*Review ABC and AABB patterns.
*Have your child write from 1-30.
*Review your child's sight words with him/her.
*Have your child read to you every night from his/her book bag.
