Grammar Rule #14: The tense of a verb tells when an action occurs~Past, Present or Past. For example: am eating in the present tense, ate in the past tense and will eat in the future tense.
Starting our next class novel, Ralph S. Mouse and completing comprehension packet that accompanies the book.

Math:

We are really working alot on quick recall of multiplication facts. We will be testing on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on our multiplication facts. As soon as a child finishes the 2's, for example, they move on to 3's and so forth. This is not for a grade but is so important for using multiplication in all areas of math. Practicing flashcards at home will help get those facts into long term memory.

Science: Weather, Climate and Water Cycle.

Art: Experiencing the art form of pointillism and artist, George Seurat.

Character Trait: Fairness

Homework:

Math homework: Monday- Parts of a Whole part 1, page 57. Wednesday-Part of a Whole part 2, page 60.
Practice Spelling words from List #10 (double consonants)
Flashcards: practice multiplication facts using flashcards or writing down all of the facts from the 1's family through the 12's for practice.

Dates to Remember:

Valentine's Day party on Wednesday, Feb. 14th. Students will need to make or buy a container for their valentines and treats with their name clearly displayed. Students can address their cards with a child's name or they can just write "To my friend," and then sign their name. Whatever they would like to do is fine. We will celebrate at the end of the day (after Technology class 2:20 pm) and it will be very simple. Students will pass out Valentines and then enjoy going through their goodies. If anyone wants to send in any treats that would be great also.
No School on Friday, February 16th for teacher grading/inservice work.
No School on Monday, February 19th for President's Day.

****Please remind your child to bring a snack to have at our morning break (10:30 am) since they don't eat lunch until 1:00 pm.
