-Conference Time Confirmations will be coming home on Friday, February 2nd!

-Next week we are going on a short field trip! On Wednesday, February 7th, we will be going to the Planetarium at Rock Bridge High School! This is such a cool experience for the kids!

-Valentines Party is next week! Friday, February 9th at 2:15 for those interested in participating or helping out with the party! The link to sign up is just below in a previous blog post. Remember, we will not be passing out Valentines until February 14th and will be making Valentines bags in class. Your child should have come home with a list of everyone's names to assist in writing Valentines.

-Upcoming Word Work - This week has been a crazy week! I was out on Monday and Tuesday at a Professional Learning Conference and out on Thursday for math training. We are all looking forward to getting back into the routine next week. Because of the subs and difference in schedule, some of the kids were worried about being able to study their word patterns this week and didn't get their homework the usual time. Therefore, I will be extending this word work into next week to ensure we get our new pattern (long e sound) mastered. We will test this pattern next Thursday. Thanks for being flexible and working with your kids to help them learn! (There will be no word work the week of Parent Teacher conferences. Short week and week for assessment.

Upcoming Dates with no school:
-Monday, February 5th
-Friday, February 15th
-Monday, February 19th

An overview of our learning goals for the week:
Math - We can use Change Diagrams and Part Part Total Diagrams to solve word problems.
Reading - We can use nonfiction text features to help us understand the text and vocabulary terms.
Theme - Be on the lookout for pictures of the flea market tomorrow! The kids have been working hard on creating their products and advertisements to sell!
