What a fun time we had at the Christmas party and of course, my pictures do it no justice. Thanks parents for making this a fun time for our children!!! :)
It was certainly nice to have two short days to come back to but we are ready for a full week and a regular routine to go along with it!!! Second semester is here and guess what comes along with it? “getting ready for second grade!” I will be using this phrase a lot. The big change right now for us is notebook paper. Woo-hoo! Your child has been introduced to wide ruled notebook paper and will no longer be writing on tablet paper. I will inform you of other changes along the way.
In Reading, our focus will be the letter blend “ar” as in “shark.” Word wall words for this week are: ran, sat, want, open, boy. Please remember to practice these at home. These words should not be sounded out and should be read quickly.
In Language, our focus will be on rule 8 ~ Some words take the place of nouns. {pronouns; ex. he, she, him, her, we, they, it}
In Math, we have begun Ch. 7 ~ Comparing Numbers using the terms greater than and less than. This is a short chapter so if everything goes accordingly we will test on Friday of this week. Look for a review sheet to come home Thursday night.
Here is a reminder about which outfit your child can wear on which day:
Monday ~ regular uniform
Tuesday ~ grade level t-shirt and jeans
Wednesday ~ regular uniform
Thursday ~ regular uniform
Friday ~ spirit t-shirt and jeans

Monday, Jan. 7 ~ Nancy’s Italian Ice $1.00

*Have a great week and contact me with any questions or concerns. ~ Kristin :)
