Week of February 14th

Happy Valentines Day!!  Hope you enjoyed the snow days!!  My family sure did! We did crafts, cuddled under warm, fuzzy blankets, played in the snow, read, and just enjoyed a slow down!  I am ready, however, for warm weather and a routine now.  The agenda for this week hasn't changed much from last week. :) 

On Monday, we will do lots of fun Valentine math activities.  These activities will cover the concepts: coordinates, bar graphs, fractions, median and mode, estimating, probability, and analogies.  We will also make our Valentine card holders and a special Valentine for our kindergarten buddies.  We will meet with them to share our Valentines right before our party.  Our Valentine party will be at 2:15.  Fun Day!!

The rest of the week will find us catching up from missing so much school.  We will finish up our SE partner projects and share our knowledge with the class as they take notes for social studies.  In math, we will continue to review previously learned skills and work on our new concept, fractions.  Did your child finish the math review sheet I sent home on Tuesday?  Hope so. :)  This might just be the miracle week to test on our List 14 in spelling that we started 2 weeks ago! LOL  In English, we will continue to work on our rough drafts of our stories.  I will give the children their codes this week, so they may begin to start working online.  We will continue reading our dog books and hope we haven't forgotten the storyline. Ha ha! Last week, I talked to the children about what the climax of a story means.  A few of the children have finished their dog books and have started on their dog project involving the climax of their story.

We will, I'm sure, be practicing a lot for our 4th grade program.  Remember, the program is on February 17th at 6:30. 

Also, don't forget that our SE states location test is on Wednesday, and our SE capitals test is on Friday.  If your child has misplaced the studyguide I sent home, he/she may take home a SS text book to study. 

The Ligers will get to have their victory reward for the Superbowl Reading Challenge this Wednesday.

Have a great week!!
