Happy Valentine’s Day!
Dear Parents,
This week flew by! Especially since we
had another snow day on Monday! For our
alphabet work, we concentrated on the let-
ter Q. Our popcorn word for this week was
“love”.
In math we continued to practice sim-
ple addition and subtraction. We have also
been focusing on making groups of tens and
extra ones to represent teen numbers.
Writer’s Workshop has been amazing
this week! The students took a break from
pattern books and wrote about what they
did during their snow days. I am very
pleased with the way the kids were able to
remember to use spacing and punctuation in
their writing. You can see their work on the
back wall of our classroom. Come and check
it out!
We will begin our new science unit next
week called Force and Motion. The stu-
dents will be doing lots of hands on experi-
ments to learn about how things move. This
unit is a lot of fun!
We had a very exciting assembly on
Tuesday, called Super U. It was all about
being respectful and working as a team.
The students were able to participate in
many fun challenges, some of which included

Our Valentine’s party was fabulous!
The students were able to pass out valen- Friday,
tines to their classmates, eat some yummy February 16, 2018
snacks and make a valentine bee craft to
hang in our classroom. The kids really
loved sharing their valentines with one
another and looking through their bags
and boxes.
