Welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful break! It is always so nice to see how happy the kids are to be together again. I really think it speaks to what a wonderful classroom and school family we have built over the year. :) As I am sure you have noticed, the snow is back! All students must come to school dressed to play in the snow with a snow jacket, snow pants, gloves, hat, and boots. We go outside in ALL weather conditions except for soaking rain. Please be sure to send in a water bottle as well. Thank you!
This week in ELA we are taking our unit 6 assessment in our reading books then moving on to our writing books. This week we will be learning about "writing to inform", subject-verb agreement, and analyzing the text. In Math we are working with bar and picture graphs. In Science we are learning about day and night. In Social Studies we are learning about consequences. In Health we are learning about medicines. Our Rooted in Reading book is Each Kindness. We will be working on all sorts of reading, writing, grammar, and art activities around this book all week long.

Writing Assignment
Research a president of your choice and tell us something about him. You can include something about where he was born, the time he lived in, interesting facts about him, and something important that he did. Don’t forget to tell us why you chose to research this president! Please write at least 6 sentences and use your best handwriting on lined paper. Thank you.
iReady Practice
Please login to i Ready. You should see a red button labeled, “start my lessons”. Please complete one Math and one Language Arts lesson. Thank you!
In closing, please remember that students should be appropriately dressed for the weather and that ALL students need to have a water bottle to keep at school as we do not have cups to offer them should they be thirsty. If your child needs sunscreen, please apply it before they come to school. Just a refresher on our illness policy: If your child is sick, he or she must be fever free and free of vomiting for 24 hours before they may return to school. Thanks!
Have a great week!
