February 17th-February 21st

Hello!

Finally....a normal week!

We hope you enjoyed the art gallery crawl today! We worked really hard on our art and we are so glad you could join us. Our valentine party was also a huge hit. Reading all of the sweet couplets from your kids was definitely the highlight of my week!

This week we played catch up on all of our art gallery things. Next week we will start a new centers unit called "Author In Me." The first author we sill study will be Dr. Seuss! How fun!

Literacy:

We are still learning about CVC words and writing our How To books. We have been reading a lot this week and we look forward to learning about long and short vowels in the upcoming weeks. We will also be studying a new site word this week.... are! Look for this word this weekend.

Math:

We will continue to do range cards once a week. We also started a new math unit this week. Our new unit is shapes! We have been learning about 2D shapes and 3D shapes. Some new vocabulary to go with these shapes is: vertices (points), sides and dimensional. We compared these two shapes, went on a shape hunt and made some books!

Our next science experiment (either tomorrow or next week) will be watching flowers soak up water through their stems using colored water! We cannot wait!

We are also looking forward to our field trip to the Children's Theatre on Tuesday!

**Hopefully everyone received my email from earlier this morning about strep throat going around our classroom. If your child is throwing up, has a fever or is feeling lethargic please keep them home. We really do not want any more children getting sick! Remember they also need to be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school. Thank you for your help with this!
