Hello families!! We are nearing the end of February. Last week the kids were busy learning new spelling rules, counting money, and learning all about teeth!
This week in Mrs. R’s Super Stars:
Last week we enjoyed a wonderful field trip to the Air Force base! The kids had so much fun and learned a lot! Thank you Mr. Gamber for helping us out!!
Language Arts: This week in spelling we will be reviewing our blends we have learned. The students have worked on these sounds for a few weeks now. Please be sure to practice these words at home. In reading we are continuing to focus on fluency, characters, and setting of a story. We are also practicing retelling the story for comprehension practice. In writing we are writing a narrative about our selves.
Math: Last week the kids finished up their chapter 5 math unit with a test on Tuesday. I am pleased with the outcome of the test. Areas I feel still need to be worked on are learning how to find 10 more or 10 less than a number as well as learning how to recognize a number pattern (i.e. skip counting). We are now working on money. Although the students know how to count by 5’s and 10’s it is difficult to make that connection to counting money. Please work at home with coin identification. We will be spending some time on this in the beginning of our unit. Throw a pile of coins on the table and have your child sort them by the type of coin they are. Then have them tell you what each coin type is worth. Once they master the basic identification of the coins the material will become much easier for them.
Science: Learning all about teeth
Physical Fitness: Our physical fitness test is fast approaching in March. The kiddos have been busy stretching running and building their muscles. Please practice sit-ups at home with your child. This is a tougher skill to master and the students will be tested on this.
FCS AUCTION: As February is coming to an end the FCS auction is coming closer! The auction will take place March 15th. If you have any friends, family, or neighbors who are business owners and are willing to donate items to our auction, please be sure to speak with them. Every time someone from our class brings in an auction item it earns points for our class. The students are working towards getting a special treat!!
