Well.... we had another shortened week, but the students were able to get everything done!
I was very pleased to see how well they did on their spelling tests with only 2 days to practice! Way to go! Next week we will complete our last story from Unit 3 in Reading and then we will have a week of testing to assess all the skills we learned in this unit. Please continue to practice spelling the weekly words and reading all the blue word cards. This is their homework every day! Thank you!
We finished our final lesson in Topic 8 today, so the quiz is scheduled for Monday. I sent home a study guide with the students to get them ready for the quiz. We focused on tens and ones in this lesson. The students showed a good grasp of the concept and were very good at using the manipulatives to trade ten rods in for ones units. I was very impressed! We will start topic 10 on Thursday (hopefully! my schedule's been messed up by all this snow and cold we are having lately!)
We are wrapping up solids and liquids in Science and moving on to Social Studies in February. We will be learning about the two famous presidents with birthdays this month, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.
A big thank you to everyone who was able to make it to see the Informance today! The students were SOOOOO excited to perform for you today! They were literally wiggling with excitement (he he!) I thought they did a wonderful job singing, dancing, playing music and reading for all of you! I'm super proud! I can't wait to see them strut their stuff on stage next year for their second grade program!
Have a good weekend! Hopefully we don't get TOO much snow! Oh and enjoy the Superbowl! I'm pretty excited for the halftime show!
