This month we will be going back to our guided reading program. We use the Starfall Program to teach. The books we use cover phonic sounds and word families. If you would like to support your student in this learning have them spend time on www.starfall.com. They can tell you what book they are reading and they can practice reading it online. They can even do activities to support their learning.
For math we will be introducing money. The students will learn the name of the coins and how much they are worth. When you are sitting in the car or they need something to do. Have them tell you the name of the coins and how they are worth. You can even have them count by 1's, 5's and 10's. We will be practicing in class.
For Social Studies we will be learning all about our community helpers. We will even get a visit from a police officer and take a field trip to the fire station and Chick a fil. Please see information that comes home.
We will have our 5th annual Valentine's Pizza Party on February 11th. Please send $2 for lunch that day. Please have your child bring 22 Valentines for the class. Please don't have them put their friends names on them but have them sign their own name. Almost everyone can write their name now, so this is great practice. It is okay to have different ones for boys and girls. Our mailboxes are different colors so it will be easy for them to deliver them.
Please feel free to call me if you have questions about your student. Sometimes it is really hard to talk after school and give a report, but we are always available after school by phone or stay after pick up. We are so grateful to the best students and parents.
