Welcome back!  I hope each of you had a wonderful weekend!  Looks like the cold is going to be coming back to us, so please be sure your son/daughter has a coat at school each day.  We will be going out to recess everyday as long as it isn’t freezing and there isn’t any rain.  However, I will not allow them to go out without a coat.  I want to make sure we keep everyone as healthy as possible!

Please remember we will be celebrating Valentines Day on the 14th.  Make sure your child address an invitation to each child in our classroom and remember they must be done in cursive! 

I also want you to know how thankful we are for all of the supplies you have sent in to donate to our friends in Africa!  It is so amazing the amount of supplies we have received to ship off.  I’ll post a picture to my website soon showing the amount of supplies we have received.

Here is a brief look at our week:

Math- we are reviewing decimals and we will test over Ch. 12 on Wednesday

Science- We are discussing the phases of the moon.  Wednesday we will review and complete our study guide and we will test over Ch. 4 on Thursday.

Social Studies we began discussing the Trail of Tears today.  Tomorrow we are going to prepare to have a “class debate” on Thursday.

Reading- Our story this week is Encyclopedia Brown and we are working on contractions.

Wordly Wise test over Lesson 18 will be Wednesday.  We only have a few more lessons left in Wordly Wise.  The kids are doing great, so let’s all really encourage them to finish out strong with Wordly Wise!
