Well, was last week a short week or what?! While the students did an exceptional job of adjusting to the changes in schedule, I am looking forward to a more typical week this week. Although, since it is Literacy Week, I'm sure there will be much excitement!
Speaking of Literacy Week, here are a few things to keep in mind throughout the week:
- Each day the Scholastic book fair will be open in the morning from 7:45-8:30 and after school is dismissed. It will also be open on Friday evening during the Taste of New Danville event.
- Tuesday is "Night Owl Day"! So send students in their pajamas with a flashlight! They may also bring one other "snuggly" item (blanket, pillow or stuffed animal).
- Thursday is "Read My Shirt Day". Students are invited to wear a shirt with words on it for others to read.
Also, just a reminder that the Taste of New Danville is on Friday! I'm very excited for this event and can't wait to taste all of the yummy dishes! Please bring your own dishes and silverware for this event.
A Peek At Our Week:
- Math --- This week, students will be extending their knowledge of 10-complements, practicing addition with multiple addends, investigating weight, and practicing double-digit subtraction. There's a lot on our plate, but we'll break into small groups and go at a pace that works for us.
- Language Arts --- We are continuing our study of verbs, using context clues to understand unfamiliar words, introducing similes, and continuing to learn about synonyms and antonyms. Our Writer's Workshops will continue to focus on using author Angela Johnson's work as mentor texts to improve our own writing.
- Bible --- During this last week of February, we will wrap up our unit on showing love to God and others (though, of course, we will always continue to work on this!).
- Science --- This week, we are transitioning our focus from air to the weather outside. We will be completing activities involving temperature and clouds.
