Black
History Month
Since February is black
history month, we have been reading some books to go along with this
theme.
The class really enjoyed
the book called Almost to Freedom. It's a story about slaves escaping to the
North as told from a doll's point of view.
Ask your child to tell you about it.
We have been taking timed addition tests
approximately 2 times a week. We have been practicing every day during math
centers. I have noticed quite a bit of
improvement this past week. Please have
your child practice these basic facts at home also. He/she may use the Xtramath
app on the ipad to do so. Thanks.
Reading
This week we read The Planets by Jeff Bauer. We learned
about the inner planets, outer planets, and what a space probe was. The book
gave us a sentence to help us remember the planets in order. It is:
My Very
Eager
Mother
Just Served
Us Noodles.
The vocabulary words for this week were: combination, dwarf planet, orbit, space probe,
telescope, and vertical
Phonics Skills

We have collected many books for Mr.

appreciate them. Thanks for your
generosity.
Enjoy the long weekend!
