Dear Parents,
Testing is beginning this month in preparation for March report
cards.
Kids will be tested on letter sounds and phonemic
awarenes-rhyming, blending,
and segmenting. We will give reading tests to determine the reading
levels of
all students. In math we will test them on identifying numbers
through 31,
counting, shapes, patterns, addition to 5, and terms like equal,
greater than,
and less than.
Valentine's Day is approaching. Your child needs to bring a
shoe box (or something about that size) to school tomorrow if
they
have not yet done so. . I have lots of doo dads for us to have
fun
decorating the boxes to use as a mailbox for receiving
valentines. We
will decorate on Tuesday, Feb. 9th with our 3rd grade buddies.
Our party will be this Thursday, Feb. 11th. We will play
games
at 12:30 and pass out the valentines. At 1:10, while kids are
at
specialist, we will set up for the party. At 2:00 they return
and we will
let them eat, open and enjoy their valentines and take pictures.
We
go to see the 1st graders perform "Three Piggy Opera" at 2:35.
Your
child needs to bring a valentine to give to each member of
the class. The names of the receiving person should be on each
valentine and the sender's name is usually put on the back.
Please
stack them in alphabetical order and put a rubber band around
the
stack. In class, we will make a literacy activity out of the
passing out
process. Having them write the names themselves is good
writing
practice. Have them use an upper case letter for the first letter
of the
name, then all of the rest in lower case. They can do it! The
list of
names is on the website, just look at the snack schedule in
the
documents tab.
Thank you Connor and family

Georgia is set for Ss snacks this week-Feb. 8th and Madison is on

list for Tt snacks the week after vacation. After Madison's
turn we will

physical
boost in the afternoon of each long day.
