February 14-18

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines Day! I think the kids had fun making their boxes and passing out their valentines! Thank you for all the tissue box donations! We even had some extras!

Here's what's happening this week:

Literacy
Our focus letter is Dd with Dudley Duck being our alphafriend.
This week's sight word is: have
And we will finish up talking about -ig words.
We have also started a unit on transportation. We talked this morning about what transportation is and what are some different means of transportation. They named LOTS of different things that have wheels!
In writing we will talk about how to use other words we know to spell words we don't know (to,do; dad,had). We will also start talking about how we can add details to the words of our stories using color and size words.

Math
We will be completing our unit on measurement this week. We talked yesterday about putting items in order of length from shortest to longest. We did this with Twizzlers, which the kids thought was fun! We will also be measuring things this week with links and cubes. Next week they will be assessed on whether or not they can measure items using non-standard units of measurement.

Nutrition Kit
We received a nutrition kit from the University of Nebraska Extension Office. We have done a few lesson out of the kit and will continue to do so this week. It focuses on the five food groups and what we should eat in order to have a healthy diet!

Conference Schedule
I have received an email back from quite a few parents. If you haven't responded to the email confirming or changing your time, please do so! I'd like to get it finalized by the end of the week! Thanks!
