Happenings for Week of February 8 – 12, 2010

· In math, we are going to be starting chapter 8 on Money and Time. We will be working with pennies, nickels, and dimes. Since most children are familiar with quarters, we will also talk about that coin as well. We will work on time to the hour and discuss analog and digital clocks.
· In phonics we will be working with the letter E. We will be focusing on the short sound of e as in elephant or egg. Show and tell will be on Friday, Feb. 12. Please send in an object with that either begins with that sound or has it in the name of the object. We will continue with our word list tests as well on Friday.
· In reading, we will be reading and discussing the story “Seeds”. We will talk about how seeds change into plants and relating it to our other stories which have focused on the changes that take place in certain animals as well as humans from birth to adulthood. We will be learning to draw conclusions based on the information we have.
· Next Friday will be our Valentine’s Day party in the afternoon. If your child is bringing in valentine cards for the class, please send them in on Friday and we will exchange during our party.
· Monday will be day 2 of our six day cycle. We will have computer class.
Have a nice snowy weekend!
