More winter weather this week

Please make sure your child brings a coat to school everyday. The weather can be very up and down during this time of year. While it may be warm one day, it can be cold the next. Sweatshirts are not enough for recess. A coat must be worn. It is better to have the coat and take it off when too warm, rather than to not be dressed properly for a chilly recess.

This Week In...
2nd Grade Reading: Problem & Solution; Visualizing
3rd Grade Reading: Making Inferences; Drawing Conclusions
Phonics: Words with -oi or -oy
Language Arts: Quotations, Pronouns, Friendly Letter
Math: Geometry (making new shapes and cutting shapes apart)

Homework for Monday:
1) DEAR Log
2) MClass Math Practice (2 sides, Concepts & Number Facts)

Valentines Day is almost here! Our party will be on Thursday around 1:30p. Students may bring in cards for their friends if they'd like. We have 21 students in our classroom, and I'd love if everyone could bring an extra to send to our pen pals in Louisiana. Also please feel free to send a bag of candy that students can pass out to mailboxes. Please no peanuts due to food allergies.

Homework:
1) DEAR Log
2) Topic 10 Study Guide*

*Students MAY NOT use a No Homework Pass on this. It is important that they prepare for the test tonight.

Reading Log Change

Thursday Homework:
1) DEAR Log*
2) MClass Math Practice

Since there are more problems than usual on tonight's Math homework, students are only required to read for 10 minutes on their DEAR Log. Hopefully this will lighten the load a little for everyone. We will take our MClass Math tests tomorrow, so the practice tonight is important!
