Review Of Our Week:

         This week in math we finished our chapter on place value in math and started on comparing numbers. I am seeing some really great stories come from our writing center.  Please have your child read their stories to you.

         February is dental health month, so our school nurse put together a program for us about keeping our teeth healthy.  The wonderful PTA got toothbrushes for all of the kids.  

Reading Records and Homework:

         Reading records are due next Tuesday.  Please encourage your child to fill in their reading record every night when they finish reading.  Also, please help them to find a safe place for it.  I have 2 or 3 each month tell me that they lost or it got thrown away.  After your child has read their take home book please have them retell you what the book was about and ask them some questions about it.  I have many higher readers who need be working on comprehension and fluency.

        

* Remember to remind your child to keep filling in their Reading record for the Lion’s Club.  Remember it isn’t any extra reading, just what they are already doing.
