Here are the happenings for this shortened week:
- Science Expo is this Friday, February 19 from 2:00 - 2:45. Feel free to come and visit our classroom and see and hear what we have learned about life cycles. This is informal and an open house so you may visit anytime during that 45 minute time frame. That way if you have other children that attend our school you will be able to visit their classrooms too.
- Our Spelling Test is tomorrow (Thursday, Feb. 18). I sent a list of words home last week. A note about spelling--these words reinforce the spelling patterns we are learning in the Skills portion of our reading program. The patterns are reinforced in reading, writing and spelling.
- Sam is off to a great start with our 100-book challenge! He has already read 30 books. He was the first person to receive a free book and treat (every 25 books). Please use this incentive to encourage reading at home. Don't leave it until the last minute!!
- February's Scholastic book order will come home tomorrow and will be due on Tuesday, February 23. There are always great titles for $1.00. This time I think there is "Fly Guy" book for $1.00.
- We have been busy getting ready for the Science Expo so we are a bit behind with math. I will review and test Chapter 7 tomorrow (possibly finish the exam on Friday). We have also taken a bit of a break with our study of Ancient American Civilizations. We will pick that up next week. We will continue to learn and write about and discuss King Moctuzuma (famous Aztec emperor) and will also continue our study of the plants life cycle. We have a great time planting Brassica rapa (mustard fast) seeds and as the name connotes our plants have already started to sprout. Tomorrow we will learn about how seeds begin to form into plants. We will examine sprouted mung beans.
Happy Reading!!!
