Dear Parents,
It’s good to be back from the Gifted and Talented Conference in Salt Lake this past week. I learned information and strategies which I will be able to use in the classroom. It was a very beneficial conference.
Math: We will work with time, continue with money, place value plus review the concepts learned thus far.
Spelling: The spelling words this week will be the same for the whole class. I took them from the list of the most commonly misspelled words in the English language. Watch for spelling words to come home today .They are: again, all right, always, animals, another, around, beautiful and program.
The test will be on Thursday.
Science Fair: The South Elementary Science Fair will be held on Friday March 25th. Your child can begin preparing for it by thinking of a question they would like to learn the answer to.
Valentine‘s Party: Our class Valentine’s Party will be held on this Friday Feb. 11th. Your child may bring his/her Valentines anytime but we won’t pass them out until that day. I sent a list of the student’s names home last week. Hopefully you received it.
Language: We will continue to work with prefixes and suffixes, root words, contractions, as well as the silent e rule.
Grandparents Program: Just a reminder that the program for our Grandparents will be next Monday February 14th at 1:30 in the school gym. Parents and family members are invited to attend as well. The students are working hard on songs, poems and a dance. They should have their parts memorized for today. Help me assure your child that if their grandparent can’t come that it is okay. Sometimes grandparents just can’t make it and that is fine. Some have to work, some live too far away, and some have other responsibilities. Although we’d like them to join us, we certainly understand.
I’ll send home a food assignment today to help with refreshments for our Grandparent’s program…(if you are able to help). Let me know if this is a problem for you.
Thanks for your help and support!
Sincerely,
Brenda Haight
