Review of our week:

         In math this week we have been working on adding 3 numbers and turn around facts.  We are working on some really fun snowman stories.  We have also been learning about maps. We had fun at the play.  It was so much fun to see Brooklyn in it.  We also had our store today for the end of the quarter.

100^th Day of School:

         Monday, January 28 is the 100^th day of school.  We will be doing some really fun things to celebrate.  I need every student to bring a collection of 100 things.  I would like you to sit down with your child and come up with something they can bring.  BE CREATIVE!!!  We will be counting them and using them or different activities, so make sure it is something your child can sort and count.

Homework:

         I will be sending a math and a comprehension worksheet home every week for homework.  This week I did a mapping page also.  The math page has 2 sides.  I have some students who are not doing their homework.  I would like you to make sure your child is doing them correct. On the comprehension sheet please read the note at the top to the parents explaining what concept your child should be working on.

Spelling Bee:

         If your child is interested in participating, please make sure they are practicing.
