Happenings Week of January 11 – 15, 2010

· In math we will finish up Chapter 6 on numbers 10 to 30. Our next chapter will focus on number patterns and counting by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s.
· In phonics our letter next week will be letter Bb. Show and tell will be on Friday, January 15. Please have your child remember to bring in an object that begins with the letter Bb.
· In reading we will be finishing up the story Little Panda and we move on to the next story Little Quack.
· Next week we will be having our second quarter test on the skills covered so far this year. We will be asking the children to name all of the letters we have covered so far ( L, O , G, H, P, T, R, F, S, I, A, M, N, K, and B). They will need to identify the capital and lowercase form of those letters and give the sound ( for vowels it is the short sound only). We will also be asking them to sound out words, give examples of rhyming words, and read the sight words we have covered so far ( the, to, I, a, little, like, was, have, are, my, of, from, for, is, we, he, love, and said). We will have the children count up to 30. The testing will begin on Monday, January 11.
· Please note that there will not be a PTO meeting this month. Meetings will resume in February.
· Due to the two hour delay, Monday will be day 1 of our six day cycle. We will have library class.

Have a wonderful weekend. Stay warm!
