February 22-26

We will be having Parent Teacher Conferences the 3rd and 4th of March so look for an appointment sheet coming home this week.
Sonic Night is this Monday night, Sonic donates a percentage of everything they make tonight to our school! That really helps!
This Friday I will be leaving early, (at lunch) so we will have a substitute to finish out the day.
We will be reading a book about a little boy and his big brother this week and we will be reviewing spelling words, which are:
For
Sit
Six
Did
Cup
They
Homework each night continues to be reading for 20 minutes and studying our spelling words. Also, get out and exercise (don’t forget to record your time!). We are going to win this competition, plus it burns energy and helps your child sleep better!

This week we will continue to learn about the ocean, and especially about Sharks!

I hope everyone is exercising and recording their times. We can win this challenge if we all work together! Everyone counts, not just the students in our class. Lets get moving; and Wii games that get you moving count too!

February 8-12

Dear Parents,
Last week we had fun starting our Ocean Unit. We learned a little about the Ocean and the creatures that live there. We learned about different Whales. This week we will continue learning all about our great oceans.
We learned about Groundhog Day, and it looks like we are in for 6 more weeks of winter.
This week we will be reading “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, this book teaches us about the life cycle of a caterpillar, and we will learn the days of the week.
Our spelling words this week will be:
Sun
Up
But
Cup
Bug
Fun
Everyone did so well on our test last week. Good job everyone!
Remember that homework EVERY night is spelling words and reading for 20 minutes. This is the most important thing you can do to help your child be successful in school. Also review nursery rhymes.
We will have our Valentines Party on Friday at 1:30 so if you would like to send small, wrapped candy that would be great!

*Don't forget to check elks.net or the radio stations in the mornings to make sure we aren't on a 2 hour delay.

Have a great week!
Mrs. Hamblin
