Week of January 10th

A belated Welcome Back and Happy New Year!

As I informed you vial email, my two computers in the classroom are sick.  Thank you for your patience, and hopefully, they will get fixed this coming week, keep your fingers crossed.  The kids really miss not being able to do Daily Fix-it on the SmartBoard and also reading and singing along the weekly stories from our reading program.


Math: counting forward and back using frames and arrows; we will work with calculators and more money: the dime!

Language Arts: this week we will work on Long  with o_e, and we will introduce contractions.  We will continue using prompts to write a complete paragraph.

Planner: We are starting a new planner entitled How We Organize Ourselves: the interconnectedness of human made systems and communities; the structure and function of organizations.  We will be discussing the different types of communities of which we are members and how they are interconnected.
