As you and your child begin thinking about what Valentine's they want to give out this year, please keep in mind the district's food policy. As a school and a district, we are fully committed to each child's safety, and are always aware of food allergies. For this reason, please do not send in valentines with any form of candy or chocolate attached to them.
On February 13th we will be making Valentine bags in class. I will be providing basic materials to decorate like the bags and colored paper. However, if your child has any specific decorations that he/she would want to use but we may not have such as stickers, etc…, please feel free to send in extra materials. Children will be able to exchange valentines on the afternoon of Feb. 14th at the Valentine’s Day Party.
The party will be held on Tuesday, February 14 from 1:45 to 2:30. Room moms have put out a Google Doc regarding items they need. If you are signing up to bring in food items, please write the specifics on the Google doc- that way you don't need to email me and I can just look on the document. Please add the specific brand information d you are bringing no later than Tuesday, February 7.

In writing this week the children continued to work on their persuasive piece I wanna Iguana , practicing to state their opinion and back up those reasons from the text. Using text evidence stems such as "On page ___ it says" or " According to the author ..." children are continuing to work on finding evidence in the text and then write about it.
The next writing we will do will be fiction, focusing on good beginning and endings using the book My Father's Dragon as inspiration.

Also in writing this week the kids started using the writing projects box as a way to change things up and try different forms of writing. The kids are loving all the hands on choice!
As always they also love hands on fun games to practice their spelling words and parts of speech...
In science children worked on their research project and trioramas for conferences next week.

In math we continued to do double digit subtraction using both the number line and stacking to practice our borrowing.
And the highlight of our week....Mia the snake! Thanks to Mrs. Quart we were able to borrow her corn snake Mia and observe her throughout the day. If kids wanted to watch her eat her lunch (tiny mouse) they were allowed to stay - video of that is up on SeeSaw. The kids loved having a pet for a day and are looking forward to the worms we will be getting in the Spring.
Don't forget that next week in student led conferences and that they need to come with you! It will be tons of fun and they are so excited to show you everything they have been working so hard on.
Below is the link to sign up genius for the Show What you Know night at the end of February. Don't forget you can also choose to see what is happening in any of the related arts too! The link for that I believe on the school website or newsletter. If there is a problem with the link, let me know.
