We have been very busy during the first month of the New Year. In math we have been working on surveys and drawing representations of the data we have collected. The children had an opportunity to write their own survey questions with a partner and collect data with their math partner. The questions were very creative and some of the data collected was surprising. We will be finishing our math unit on data collection and begin a unit on measurement.
February is national Dental Health Month. We will be doing some teeth experiments and have a visit from a local dentist. In Social Studies we will be discussing American symbols and our current and past presidents.
We will be working on contractions and compound words. During writer’s workshop, we will be starting to make a class cook book.The children will write their own recipes. Please continue to help your child study their spelling words daily and read nightly the books that come home. February is a very short but busy month.

We will have snack daily in the classroom before going out for morning recess. Snack is not available for purchase, please send in a healthy snack with your child every day. Please remember we are a tree nut safe school. Please check packages carefully so that they do not contain tree nuts or are manufactured in a facility that processes nuts. On the occasion that a child brings in a snack that is unable to be eaten at school your child will be offered an alternative snack.
Birthdays are very important to children and you are welcome to send in a special treat to celebrate the occasion. Please contact us by phone or email prior to sending in your treat and remember to check labels carefully.
Your child will receive a monthly school lunch menu. We ask that you send your lunch money in weekly in a sealed envelope with your child's name, classroom teacher, and amount enclosed on the front of the envelope. You will receive an account statement for lunch balances at the end of the month. Any questions regarding lunch accounts should be addressed with Kathleen Keady in the cafeteria.
We may do some messy art projects within our classroom and ask that you send in a large t-shirt labeled with your child's name to keep in their cubby.
We look forward to an exciting year of fun and learning with your child.
