Families,

Thank you for being patient as I was in and out this week. I am finally feeling better and am hoping a restful weekend will help me beat this once and for all! Here is a look at what is coming next week:

Reminders/Dates:

• Scholastic orders are due Tuesday, January 31st
• Friday, February 3rd is a half day–students will be dismissed at 12:15
• Monday, February 6th = NO SCHOOL
• Our Valentine’s Day party is on Tuesday, February 14th from 12-1. Keep an eye out for more information!
• Please double check the “Special Person” calendar to make sure you are in town the day your child is assigned. Also, if you could email me who their special guest reader is as soon as you know that would be wonderful. I am excited to start this in 2 weeks!

Reading: We are still working on non-fiction and will focus on asking questions based on the text, retelling facts, and making connections.

Writing: We are still working on persuasive writing and will review using words like “and” and “because” and making sure we write down good reasons that support our opinion.

Math: We will review Monday and take our Unit 4 test on Tuesday! We will begin Unit 5 and focus on unknown partners with teen totals and subtraction with teen numbers.

Spelling: Our words this week are: be, this, from, make.

Have a great (and healthy) weekend!
