February 22 week in review

Isn't this weather great today? With it being such short weeks, last week with early release and Valentine's and this week with Monday off, we will get back to our weekly news sheets next week. We have spent last week and this week wrapping up unit 5 in math and finishing some projects with writing. We continue to work on fluency and making our reading sound like talking. Students concluded Unit 5 this week. We will continue to review skills taught throughout the unit. Please continue to review counting money, simple sums to 18 and place value. We will begin fast fact assessments later this week. These are those basic simple sums to 18. Ex.  3+4=7, 5+4=9 We will begin with easier facts and work our way up to the higher sums, 9+7=16. Also please send the reading log and folder back each day. Even if you had a crazy night and didn't get it done, I let them take the book back the next day.

100th Day

We had lots of fun making guesses for our 100th day bottle activity. We had so many creative ideas. Check out our 100 items museum. We also played a game where we read 100 words.
