Hi Families,

Thank you to everyone who came to parent teacher conferences. It was great meeting with you all and showing you how much progress your students have made. If we did not get a chance to talk, it is not to late. Please send me an email and we can schedule a time.

Here is what is happening in class until the end of February.

Science: the states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. We will also be talking about teeth and how to keep them healthy.

Social Studies: We will be talking about money.

Math: Since we are talking about money in Social studies we will be working with money in math. Adding pennies, nickels, and dimes, as well as some graphing and subtraction with pennies.

Reading: We will read and discuss the ant and the dove and how many spots does a leopard have?. Students will also be reading books at their reading level and the decodable book "the bib" focusing on the short o, b, and the hard c (k) sounds.

Writing: I will be introducing the six traits of writing and we will continue to work on capitals, periods and writing a sentence (subject and verb).

I hope you all have a wonder end to February and please remember to sign and return their reading pizza papers if they have been reading at least five times a week for 20 or more minutes.

Ms. Rimmer
