Penguins continued

We are continuing our study on penguins and will be writing our own penguin book. The kiddos are completely loving learning about polar bears and penguins.

Next week is Dr. Seuss week. I will be putting out a sign up sheet for any parents who want to read their favorite Dr. Seuss story to the class.

Parent teacher conferences start next week as well . I will be putting a sign up sheet out on our table in the morning to sign up. It will also be on the door of the classroom.

Nonfiction: Polar Bears/ Valentine's Day

Ok let's try this again!  This is the second week of our Polar Bear unit. We will be reading books about polar bears and writing what we learn in our journals.

Any sight words or letter teams that we're not covered last week will be taught during our review week coming up.

I will be assessing the kiddos this week and next week in class to see the growth they have made the second trimester.  I have already seen huge growth in our day to day activities so I can't wait to see what the tests show.  They are the same assessments that we did the first trimester so there will be nothing new for the kiddos :).

The Valentine's Day party is this Friday. Please bring in the kiddos Valentines and boxes that day so we can exchange cards. If you would like to help during center time, 9:30-10:45, all are welcome. Please remember no food items!!

Sight words: love, with

Letter teams: oo; food, flood

Math: addition

Writing: polar bears, individual goals

Homework: Uu and 21 due Friday
