Dear Families,
We have two BIG celebrations next week! Our 100th day of school and Valentine's Day! Please see the attached papers for details and what I need help with. THANK YOU!
Books Read: Snow Friends, Warm in Winter, I'm A Little Snowman, The Snowy Day, The Snow Child, Snowballs
During writing time they are; visualizing places and people to write about, adding words (letters~vowels!) to their pictures, rehearsing what they want to say about what they wrote, take turns sharing their ideas and writing with partners, going back into their writing pieces and revising what they have written by changing or adding to what they wrote and continuing to build up their confidence as writers. Our pen pal letters from Pittston have started! We will be writing back and forth for the remainder of the year and then in June we will be meeting them in real life and having a fun visit!
Animated Alphabet is our approach to phonemic awareness and spelling. The letters are taught through a multi sensory approach of music, dance, characters and signs which help the students hold onto that information. The characters we learned this week were; Grouchy Owl and Abe the Skating Hare.
In math we are working with two digit numbers, formation of numbers, addition and subtraction practice, describing patterns, measurement activities, counting and number recognition, solving number stories, getting ready for our 100 Day Celebration and continuing our calendar routines. Our routines at calendar time include; counting to the calendar number of the day, weather observations, tracking the number of days we have been in school and days of the week.
We are learning about the Woolwich Way! The Woolwich Way is made up of 6 qualities that will help us to be the best we can be! (Courtesy- I can use good manners, Compassion-I can help others, Respect- I can treat others kindly, Honesty-I can tell the truth, Responsibility- I can take care of myself and my stuff, Quality- I can do my best even when things are hard)
Upcoming Events:

February 12- Valentine's Day Party
February 15-19 February Break
