We have a busy week of learning and a FUN week of KINDNESS ACTIVITIES!! (Make sure to look back at the Kindness Challenge Blog post, if you forget what the activities are.) The most exciting one for us is the Fun Friday Activity~ Dress like an animal or wear animal print!! And Giovanni will be bringing in Fun Friday Snack that day!!
We have many Resources this week and we will be sending home our February Calendar so you know what events are coming up. **The big one we are most excited about is the Zoo Field Trip!! ALL MONIES for the trip are due by February 6.**
MATH
This week we will finish our unit our measurement and take our unit test at the end of the week. We will be continuing to use the vocabulary words: longer, shorter, taller, heavier, and lighter. Students will continue comparing different objects in size and be able to use the vocabulary correctly. Students will also get the chance to use a scale/balance in class to understand weight. Please continue to review the vocabulary with your child and complete the homework that is sent.
**We will also be doing Quarter 3 testing this week on counting to 75, number recognition to 15, and counting to 100 by 10s.***

WRITING
This week we will have a writing test. The students will be given a picture and expected to write a sentence that matches the picture. The students will have two days to complete this. Remind your child there is no need to rush and that they should use the word wall for sight word help. Also~ SPACES!! All words are separated by a finger space.:)
Here's a rhyming sight word video to practice some sight words.

SAXON/READING SKILLS
We are doing a lot of coding in Saxon!! Vowels, blends, double consonants and that's not all~ more is to come... make sure to be looking over your child's Saxon papers. We complete papers 4 times a week.
Our focus letter is letter Ee. Quite a few students have difficulty producing this letter sound, so make sure to check out Jack Hartmann's video.
Our Blend this week is GL- and our word family is the -ed family. Check out the slideshow and Youtube video below. :)
Our Sight Words this week are: do, been, your, little
Also, make sure to be practicing a rhyming word for a given word and ending sounds of pictures!! We will be testing on them beginning this week.

READING
We will be focusing on the book Polar Bears by Dee Phillips. We will be discussing this informational text and completing a HAVE, CAN & ARE Chart. Students will be recording this information in their Reading Journals.
I have a feeling the students are going to love this book and it's going to be great for our discussions!! I wasn't able to find a video of the book online... but I did find this youtube video. Enjoy watching it and learning about Polar Bears.
**Please remember your child will have a short comprehension test on the topic of Polar Bears. **
