March 19-23

Last week we did a lot of reviewing in literacy. We worked on reading all of the word wall words we've learned so far!

We were finishing up our unit on the Farm. This was one of the kids' favorite big books! You'll have to ask your child what it was about!

In math we worked on comparing the numbers 1-10 to 11-20. The kids noticed that 1 and 11 both had only one cube, and that 2 and 12 both had two cubes, and so on! T

hey also discussed how 1-9 didn't have a ten stick. It took a while, but they realized that they didn't have a ten stick...because they didn't have ten! :-)

March 5-9

This week we are talking about the letter Xx. The alphafriend is Mr. X-ray. We talked about how not many words start with the letter x, but that it is usually at the end!

The words we are working on this week are:

and.....

We will also be taking our Unit 4 math test this week! PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD IS AT SCHOOL ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7!!

Homework Sheets!

Just a reminder to finish up your homework sheets over spring break!

They are due on Wednesday, March 21st!

Stealing

One last serious note. We have had some problems with stealing in our classroom over the last week. On two different incidents students were caught taking things of other peoples and intentionally hiding the fact that they did so. We will be talking about this in our classroom throughout the week, but if you could talk to your child about it at home also, I would appreciate it. Stealing is a non-negotiable at Arnold school. If a student is caught stealing they automatically have to go to the office. It may be small, harmless things they are taking, but it is a serious offense. Thank you for you cooperation. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know.
