Ice Skating  

We are excited to be going ice skating this Wednesday! Thank you to our PTO.   We will be skating from 10:55-11:35 at the John and Dede Howard Ice Area. Feel free to join us if you would like. Make sure your child dresses warm on this day and wears long socks to prevent blisters from the ice skates! PTO will buy a Hot Chocolate for each child on their way out.  No other snacks will be available, students should not bring money.

 

Cold Weather

Now that we are getting into colder weather patterns, please check the weather so that your child has the necessary clothing--boots (when there is snow on the ground), hats, coats, and gloves/mittens--to be going out for recess.  We do go out most days unless it is raining or below zero wind chills!

 

Multiplication Facts

Please continue weekly multiplication fact practice from home.  We started with the 0s, 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s, but will now continue on to 3’s and 4’s.   We are working on these in class, but many students will benefit from additional practice at home.  Resources to use include:  IXL F Skills, Flashcards, using items at home to make equal groups (for our more visual learners) examples would be: pennies, beads, popsicle sticks, etc.

 

Positivity Project Character Strength:OPM (Words and Actions)

This week’s character strength is other people mindset. Everything that you do and say can affect people in a positive way.

 

What we are learning this week!

Reading- Story Elements

Word Study - Unit 9

Science - Animals Through Time
