I   learned  Author’s Purpose. There  is purpose when you write. You should  Inform, persuade  or  entertain.

Don’ forget about “Bucks for Brinnlee”
Tomorrow where a Christmas shirt, pin, headband, etc. to “Send Christmas Cheer to Brinlee!”

We will be celebrating the spirit of giving with a “Penny Christmas”!  The note was sent home last week.  I will send a reminder notice on Friday.  The “Penny Christmas” items will be due on December 15th.
I have sent the “Room Mother” sheets to Mrs. Greenwood.  She will be contacting any parent that signed up to help.  We would love to have any and all of you join us to set up and help at the Christmas party.  Thank you in advance for helping with the party and sending items.  The children and I appreciate all of you!

If they bring home a passage to read tonight and complete their comprehension questions they can sign that as their reading for the night!

I learned about time and now that I under stand it I think it’s fun.I love learning things new.The clock has 60 secents and 12+12=24 and we have 24 hours a day.

We will be working on time and vocabulary of time this week and maybe the week we come back from Spring Break.

I learned how to tell time better by playing bingo.

We are working on learning vocabulary with time.

half past, quarter til, quarter after, midnight, noon, am, pm

I enjoyed doing the flat Stanley letter and doing math.

In math I learned about multiplication by skip counting.

Question of the Day: If one person has 2 hands then how many hands would 12 people have?

Today in math we began understanding tables.  For example, if 1 floor of a building had 5 rooms, then how many rooms would 5 floors have?

I learned to regroup. and to graph with  drinks  and  fruit.  We read and learned information about why graphs are important.

The students are beginning to learn about regrouping with subtraction.  We used cubes and place value charts to help understand the concept.

We are still reading fairy tales and discussing author’s purpose of various books.  We are also writing our own fairy tales.

During the month of February we are discussing healthy teeth habits.
