Feb 25- March 1

Language Arts-- Letter "Hh" focus
                           HFW-do, are, that
                           Comprehension- Sequence: First, Second, Then, Last

Writing--- Writing more than one sentence using our Focus HFW

Math--- Comparing Number- One less, one more, two less, two more.

Science- Wrap up our unit on how plants and Animals change (butterflies, frogs, seeds)

Social Studies-- Maps, symbols

Leadership-- Good to great. Going the extra distance.



*** When it comes to writing sentences at home, please encourage your student to sound out the words as best they can. Tell them to write the sounds they hear. Also, if you want to model how to sound the word out, that is okay, but please allow them to write the sounds. At this stage they will spell words incorrectly if they write the sounds they hear, this is called "Inventive Spelling" and this is a Kinder Standard. In the class we often model a sentence and we show them how to sound out words. Then we allow them to write their own sentence and I ask them to sound the words out as best they can.

Mandarin Class Performance

Friday February 22nd, we will be having an awards assembly at 8am. We will also be visited by Mayor Bailey this day. My Mandarin students begged to be able to perform the song we have been learning for the past few weeks for Mayor Bailey and of course our wonderful parents. Therefore, please have your students practice their Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star song (located in the Mandarin tab). Hope to see you all there!!!
