This week in Principal's Pride:
Dana Mewhinney: Dana has been so sweet to help our new student learn more about our school!
and
Cyrus Soleimani: Cyrus is working hard toward achieving his goals! I'm very proud of you Cyrus!
Reminders:
Wednesday is a HALF-DAY. Students will be released at 12:45.
Thursday is Pajama Day! Your child may come to school dressed in their pajamas for our Chocolate Fever Celebration.
Friday is Chocolate Fever/Valentine's Party! 1:45 to 2:45. We sent a note home last week about what is needed for the Valentine's Party. Please bring your assigned item and shoe box to decorate by Wednesday.
I will be taking over book orders for the time that I will be here. Book orders will go home Monday and need to be returned no later than February 19. Orders can also be placed online.

In Reader's Workshop...
Take home readers will go home each night and need to be brought back every day. I will send home the harder book (frustrational level) on Monday and the books will get easier (to their independent level) as the week progresses.
In Writer's Workshop...
We will be learning about sketching instead of drawing and adding details into our writing. Sketching will allow us to spend more time actually writing instead of drawing. Adding details will help make our stories more interesting for the reader.
In word work this week we will learn about words with the ou/ow sound.
Spelling words: ouch, house, loud, how, clown, down
Vocab: father, where, into, home, after
Challenge words: Valentine, heart
In math...
We will wrap up our unit on Money and talk about doubles facts before beginning our next unit on length and measuring.
In Social Studies...
We wrapped up our Texas Unit last week and will begin our unit on USA. We will learn about many different USA symbols.
Have a great week!
Ms. Ham
