Families,

What a GREAT (and chilly) week back! The new year is off to a great start with this class. Here is a look at the week ahead:

Reminders/Dates:

• Early Release Day is Friday, January 13th. Dismissal is at 12:15.
• Popcorn Friday/Spirit Day is on Friday, January 27th.
• Scholastic Book Orders are due Tuesday, January 31st (remember to please order online with the class code: NNX2P).
• This week was too cold to go outside for recess; however, please still send your child with the appropriate winter apparel just incase! Not to mention we still have to walk out in the cold to get home :).

Reading: We will review the text features we learned (ex: table of contents, captions, labels) and focus on the main idea of our non-fiction books.

Writing: We are starting our new unit of persuasive writing. We will start by learning how to write a persuasive letter to someone about a pet we might want to have.

Math: We are working with ten groups and how to group them, add them, and creating numbers with ten groups and extra ones (ex: 46 is 4 groups of 10 and 6 extra ones).

*We have been playing lots of fun games with this unit. An easy way to quiz your child at home or in the car is to say, “What is 5 groups of 10 and 2 extra ones?” and your child would say, “52.”

Spelling: Our words for this week are: as, come, his, with.

Stay warm this weekend!
