Math - measurement - area and capacity

Reading - Winn Dixie, leveled novels

English - stories

Spelling - Figurative Language terms

Science - Weather.....Look for a homework assignment this week that involves watching a weather forecast and recording the info. :)


The girls won the Superbowl Challenge!! The participating girls will get to have pizza in the class for lunch with me on Tuesday.

Hopefully you saw the note about our voluntary dog/cat supplies donation drive. A rescue person will come and speak to the class at the end of this month and we will give our donations to him at that time. It is wonderful to see the children participate in this and feel a part of things. I have encouraged my parents in the past to make their children work at home to help earn money to purchase something themselves. They feel empowered then and feel that even as young as they are, they can still do big things that make a difference!!
