Newsletter Week of 1/20/2012

It was a short week, but it was a jam-packed week! We crammed everything into 4 days.  We also had some fun with our “100” year old portraits!  We ALSO skyped a class from the UK!

Reading:

-We learned the /le/ sound

-We learned that when a short vowel is followed by only ONE consonant, you must double the consonant before adding the ending! (TRICKY STUFF!)

Math:

-We practiced skip-counting forward and backward to 100

-Please practice counting to 100 with your child

Writing:

-We have been writing, editing, and revising our “ALL ABOUT” books

-We are almost done with our “ALL ABOUT” books (They’re awesome!)

Announcements:

-Stop by for our Author’s Celebration on Friday1/27 at 12:20-1:45

                -The Author’s Celebration is going to be in our class.     

                -The students will celebrate that they finished a published piece of writing by reading their story

                -It’s not a big deal if you can’t make it– just give your child a big “Congratulations!”
