Jack and Annie are concluding their adventure in the Arctic in Sunset of the
Sabertooth! The students are excited to travel along wtih Jack and Annie on these
adventures each day and love Peanut the mouse! The students have increased their
messages and are using more vocabulary from the Power points and books. Students
are encouraged to write another sentence, add sounds, and add more detail to their
pictures!

Tomorrow is the 100th Day of School! Remember to wear your 100th Day
T’Shirt! We will have some fun counting to 100 and completing some engaging 100th
Day Activities!

I am excited this month to have some Valentine fun! We will distribute cards and
have some Valentine Themed Centers. Don’t forget to have your child bring his/her
Party in a Bag! Your child should have their name on the outside of the bag and
he/she may decorate it too!

What We Are Doing In Fundations:

In Fundations, we are working on Unit Three. We will continue to tap out sounds
and build cvc words. We have started to formally teach sight words (Fundations calls
them trick words). Students will also focus on spelling and dictation of cvc words. We
continue to have story time with the Fundations owls Mama Echo and Baby Echo! Unit
The assessments went well in class! Continue to practice proper formation of the
letters! Please continue to work on letter identification, letter sounds,
segmenting, blending, and rhyming. Report Card Assessments will be starting
for the March Report Card!
What Math Skills Are Being Practiced?
We have been working on number formation and addition. Students are
gaining a stronger number sense while participating in math activities in the
classroom. We also have been working with 2D and 3D shapes. This month we
continue to work on addition, subtraction, and collecting data. Please continue to
work with your child on number identification, forming numbers correctly, and
counting to 100! Report Card Assessments will be starting for the March
Report Card!
