We're going on a field trip!

That's right we will be going on a field trip on Wednesday, March 11th. We will be traveling to The Academy for Academics and Arts to attend a play titled "Fairy Tales: A Walk Through the Forest". Your child is bringing home a permission/information form today. Please sign the permission form and enclose you child's fee before Friday, March 6th.

Reading: This week we are beginning out new unit titled "Let's Explore." In this unit we hope to answer the question, "Where will our adventures take us?" The first story in this unit is the book Bunny Day. This story works in conjunction with our math topic for the week. The bunnies in the book are doing various chores and activities throughout the day. The book gives specific times and we will be learning how to tell time this week. Our AMAZING WORDS for this story are: chores, tidy, bustle, race, story and hungry. Sight words for this week are: that, are, and do.

Phonics: We will primarily focus on the sound made by the letter Hh. This is the sound hear at the beginning of the words hammer, hat, and house.

Math: We will be finishing up our chapter on money and time this week. This week we will be learning how to tell time to the hour. We will be focusing on using analog clocks, although we will do dome work with digital clocks.

Book Order: Your child has a book order form in their folder today. Please read the letter attached to the order form and return to school no later than Friday, February 27th.

Happy Birthday! This week we have four birthdays. A very special birthday wish goes out to Jalon (24th), Lauren and Leanne (26th), and Sadie (28th).
