You will find a new February Book-It calendar in your child's Friday folder.  Please turn in the January Book-It calendars when we return from mid-winter break. 
 

Writing:

Next week we will wrap up our realistic fiction writing unit.  We will make sure our stories end with a hope, wish, feeling, or lesson to wrap up the story.  We will also spend a day revising and editing our stories to showcase our very best writing.   

Math:

Please look for your child's unit 3 math assessment coming home next week.  I am thrilled with their thorough understanding of measurement and shapes.  Next week we will explore 2-digit subtraction. We will work on finding strategies that will allow us to "ungroup".  We will use ungrouping to show how we can break apart a ten or hundred into smaller units in order to subtract.  Please look for a family letter coming home next week that will further explain two helpful subtraction strategies. 

Growth Mindset:

What can you say instead of, "this is too hard!"?  
How many answers can you and your family think of?

Valentine's Day:
We will be celebrating Valentine's Day on Wednesday, February 14.  Our classroom party will be from 9:30-10:30.  We would love to have you join us for the fun!  Also, I have attached a class list to help your child in writing out their Valentines.  Please be sure to make one for every classmate.  Candy and treats are allowed with the Valentines, just be sure that they are peanut fee.  Thank you!  Valentines can be sent in anytime from February 7-14.
