Families,

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the school year and can’t wait to see how the second half goes! I hope you all had a great break and are ready to get back in the swing of things–I know I am! Here is a look at what’s ahead:

Reminders:

• Friday, January 13th is an Early Release Day
• Friday, January 27th is Popcorn Friday/Spirit Day

Reading: We will begin our non-fiction unit and start by comparing fiction and non-fiction and taking a look at non-fiction text features (ex: labels, diagrams, captions, etc.).

Writing: We will finish up our poetry unit and practice writing acrostic, color, shape, “I like,” and “-ing” poems.

Math: We will continue working with teen numbers and addition strategies to solve for them.

Handwriting: We are taking a quick break from spelling to work through our handwriting books and perfect our uppercase and lowercase letters as well as our pencil grips!

I am looking forward to being back with your kiddo tomorrow!
