February 7-11

Since I was gone ALL of last week, I feel like I'm scrambling to be ready this week! So here's what's happening!

Literacy
Our letter focus is Qq this week, with Queenie Queen being our alphafriend.
We're focusing on the word: for.
Since last week we didn't get to our word family, it will again be the -ig family.
In writing we're talking about writing a our stories using 2 kinds of words; words we know (sight words) or that we can find in the room. These words should be spelled correctly! There are also words that we have to sound out. These words do not need to be spelled correctly, but should have at least 3 sounds in them now.

Math
We are finishing up chapter 7 this week (for real!) I will be assessing the kids at the end of the week on counting by 10's, 5's, and 2's. We will also be starting chapter 8 at the end of week. We will be learning about measurement.

Report Cards
Report cards were sent home on Monday with your child in their blue folders. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Parent/Teacher Conferences
I will be sending an email with an attachment of conference schedule. I am going to assume that your times from October still work. I will ask you to reply to the email to confirm your time. If your time doesn't work we will try to switch things around!
