Winter Weather

Friday, January 18, 2019
Snowy days are upon us!  What a wild week with all this weather.  We will see what this weekend brings and hope to see all of your children on Tuesday!  Because of our crazy schedule this week, we were nowhere near our normal routines.  With two half days, we did math one afternoon and our reading routines the next.  Reading bags are in backpacks but please be aware that the books in there aren't as practiced as last week.  Thank you to all families for reading with your children!  Everyone brought them back this week!!!  I absolutely love sharing reading bags with you so you can see how awesome your kids are.  :)

Thank you to all families that have sent in extra supplies!  That was super helpful and many of our kids are good to go now.  

In February the PTA is putting on our BEU circus.  There is more information for you about the circus in your child's Friday Folder.  Each classroom puts together a basket for the raffle.  Students and families can buy raffle tickets to try to win these awesome baskets.  This is a fantastic fundraiser for our PTA.  Our PTA funded new equipment on the playground with money like this that was raised in the past two years.  Click on the link below to see what we still need.  Thank you for your participation!  


Six flags reading logs are due on February 22.  I put an extra log in the Friday Folder in case you have misplaced your original one.  

Here are our some of learning objectives for the past two weeks:
Reading:  Using the picture as a clue to solve unknown words, finding words in text based on the first letter
Writing:  Using words we know in our sentences, using different kinds of punctuation, writing sentences and adding color to our pictures
Math:  Finding numbers on a 100s chart, counting by 2,5 and 10, comparing numbers & quantities to 20, teen numbers
Fundations: segmenting and blending words(tapping), correct letter formation for uppercase letters, quick recall of letters and sounds (fluency)

Here is our week in pictures!  
This little cutie found a cozy spot to read on Library day!

We played a game called "Roll and Record" to practice writing sight words. 


Learning about teen numbers


We had a visit from flash and the PTA to tell us about the circus.


We ended our week with a super fun time at Maker Space in the Library!
