Wow, what a month! Thank you to all our parent helpers for skating, hot lunches, treat sales, centers ...You are the best! Thank you for working with your child for Speech Arts. They did a very good job.
February seems to fly by each year! We will be very busy as usual. Topics for the month:
LA: lots of reading, writing and comprehension
Math: addition of 1 and 2 digits with/ without regrouping, and subtraction facts, and polishing up or addition facts.
Science: Hot and Cold temperature - starting this new unit
Social: Finishing the unit "Looking at Places"! Booklets will come home and notice about check - ups will come too.
Religion: Continue with our Church Feb.16 (weather permitting) for 9am mass. (Van is booked may need 1 driver)
Health: Talking about friends for Valentine's day and about filling people's buckets with kindness.
Please keep up some home reading, even during the week of holidays this month. Some students are flying in what they can read, while those not practicing are getting behind. Please practice the math adding and then subtracting facts. Not all students even know the facts to 10!
Reports cards will be coming out in March, and these areas will be addressed.
February 10th we will be celebrating he 100th day of school with some center activities with the grade 1, and 2/3 classes. look for reading a writing about this topic coming home this month.
Valentine's day is coming up as well, a list of the students names will come home for your child to use for their Valentine cards. We will also have a sharing time party on Valentine's day. Could those students that did not bring a snack for Halloween please bring something for the 2nd nutrition break (12:55) on Valentine's Day.
There will not be school for the week of Feb. 20-24. Please keep reading and practicing math facts though. Please check the school newsletter for other important dates, like hot lunch on Feb.9.
