Families,

The end of January already? We had a great month getting back into the swing of things for 2018 and have a lot to look forward to in February with our 100th day of school and Valentine’s Day! Here’s a look at what’s ahead:

Important Dates/Reminders:

• Scholastic book orders are due TODAY by 4p.m. Remember to submit your order online and use the class code: NNX2P.
• One School, One Book forms are also due TODAY. We look forward to reading the same book as a school and learning about it together.
• We have started Reading Counts in 1st grade! Our goal is 5 books (and quizzes) by March 9th in order to help duct tape Mrs. McClure to the wall! Another goal is to read 12 books total by the end of the school year. The quizzes are taken here at school on certain library books your child may check out.
• We have an Early Release Day on Friday, February 1st.
• There is NO SCHOOL Monday and Tuesday (February 5th-6th) for our mid-winter break.
• Our 100th day of school will be on Wednesday, February 7th (more information to come on Monday).
• Our Valentine’s Day party will be on Wednesday, February 14th (more information to come on this celebration). There is a list of class names coming home with your child today. If you child would like to bring in valentines, they must bring one in for EVERY student in the class (23).

Reading: We will find “wow” words/parts (things that make us say “cool” or “gross”), learn how to ask questions about the text, and identify interesting facts.

Writing: We will come up with a list of things we know how to do, add “first, next, then, last” into our writing, add details, and add a caution statement.

Math: We will finish up unit 4 and review at the beginning of the week and take our test on Thursday.

Spelling: Our words are: by, help, one, or.

Have a great weekend! Hopefully we will have some sunshine!
