Jan 6-9
Happy New Year!! Tonight, as I tucked Lily in to bed she said, "Merry Valentines!" We are on to the next holiday in the Caballero Casa! I hope all of you enjoyed time with your children and families! We spent time here in Austin with my family and in New Braunfels with my husband's family. The second week of the break we traveled to Tulsa, Oklahoma to visit friends who welcomed their third child four weeks ago then we moved on to Kansas City where the low one morning was 9 degrees with a wind chill of 2 degrees!! We spent New Years Eve with my cousins and Aunt and Uncle! We were busy but enjoyed our time together, all 25+ hours in the car together!! I can't wait to hear about your winter break from your children!

READING
This week in reading we will focus on Fairy Tales. We will review the features of Fairy Tales and discuss the characters, the problem and the solution, the plot of the story, and the beginning, middle and end of the story. We will also review how to retell (tell the events from the beginning to the end in our own words) and to summarize( tell the important events in one short paragraph). This unit really gets the students energized about reading!!

WRITING
This week, we will review procedures for writing workshop and review the writing process. We will write small moments that happened during winter break and/or rely on our imaginations and write stories. Do you want to build a snowman??
We will also think about resolutions. What is a resolution and why individuals make goals. These discussions will lead us back into our Leader in Me study of the 7 Habits!
MATH.
This week in math we will review the addition strategies including doubles, double plus one, double plus two and introduce a new strategy called "bridge to ten". 9+5 is the same as 10+4 which is 14. We will solve problems applying the addition strategies we have been learning. Problem solving will be a strong focus point for us as we begin to prepare for 2nd grade. I know, already, YUP!!
SCIENCE
We will learn about the objects in the sky such as the sun,the moon,the clouds and the stars. We will also learn how the appearance of these objects change depending on different kinds of weather/or different time of the day and month. Last night there was a super moon! My girls and I saw it as we headed to school this morning for a work day! It's really fun to observe the night sky! Bundle up and head outside to take a look around!
