Week of January 28-February 1, 2013

Hello Room 4 Families,
Here's what is happening in our classroom:

Important dates:
Friday, February 8: PTO family dance, 6-8 pm
Monday, February 11: No school
Monday, February 18: No school
Friday, February 22-Friday, March 1: Shortened days for parent/teacher conferences. Students will be dismissed at 12:20 pm from the cafeteria.

Language Arts:
We started our unit called "Stick to It", and the kids are having a good time with it. We are reading stories about perseverance. If you have any books at home that go with this theme, feel free to send them in and we will read them during class.
We will be reviewing the sounds of /m/, /a/, and /t/.
There are no new sight words this week.
In writing we will be working on a summary of this week's story, "The Great Big Enormous Turnip".

Math:
We are continuing to work on measurement this week. This week's objectives are to compare height and length to reference objects, to understand how height and length are alike and different, and to compare weight to a reference object.

Science:
We are continuing our unit on animals. This week we will focus on reptiles.

Thank you, parents, for all you do! Room 4 would not be a super place to work and learn without you!
Have a great weekend, and as always, feel free to email if you have any questions or concerns.
