• cameras

• nutritional bars
  
• snacks (Slim Jims)

We will have a box in our room if you would like to donate any of the items!

 

 

Math:

This week we began Unit 6: Whole Number Operations and Number Stories. This leads into multiplication and division. A family letter came home Monday further describing the unit. Please take time to read it thoroughly because it describes key vocabulary and supplies all the answers to the home links, if you should have any questions.

 

February Reading Calendars:

The following 19 students met their goal of reading 20 nights in February:

 

Carsyn, Hunter, Tommy, Tyler, Kila, Karlene, Zach, Morgan, Mya, Maddie, Cole, Mackenzie, Hannah, Makayela, Dylan, Dillan, Sayge, Derrick, and Tucker.

 

They earned a Pizza Hut coupon and Reading Token from Mrs. Wieferich and Mrs. Freeland!

 

100's Day:

The 100^th day of school is approaching and the students are counting down the days! It is scheduled for Tuesday, February 14 (if there are no snow days between now and then). In 2^nd grade the students bring in a collection to display in the classroom. Some of the Kindergarten and first grade rooms will be coming to our room to view them. Some ideas for collections could include: marbles, toothpicks, toy cars, collecting cards, buttons, silly bands, paper-clips, etc. It would be ideal if the collection could fit on their desks, but there will be some floor space available for displays as well. Please have your child bring their collection in a bag with their name on it. Also, please have your child wear their class t-shirt on the 100^th day. We are so excited to celebrate!

 

 

 

 

 

Valentine's Party:

Valentine's Day will be celebrated in our classroom on Tuesday, February 14. Your child will need to bring valentines to school on or before that day. Your child will need to bring a valentine for every child in the class (25 students). I am sure that we will have lots of fun reading them! Please help your child prepare each valentine by letting them print each name and sign their own name. This is great writing practice! Here is a list of the names of boys and girls in our class for addressing valentines:

Boys                Girls

Hunter            Carsyn

Tommy            Kila

Tyler                Karlene
