The Valentines party will be on Friday, February 12th (1:30-2:20).  I will email a list of the students names for your child to use when making Valentine cards.  We will make bags for the Valentine cards here at school.  Donations of valentine stickers/craft items that could be used on the lunch sacks are greatly appreciated! The students can start bringing their valentines to school starting the week of Feb 8th.

 READING and WRITING
We will continue our guided research unit.  This week we will review the research process, pick a topic that we are interested in, think about what we want to know about our topics, look at different resources, and non-fiction texts to find new information, take notes in our own words, and then present our findings in an organized form so others can use our information and learn from our research too.


MATH 
This week we will connect addition and subtraction by introducing the fact families, part-part- whole, and missing addend.  The parts join together to make a whole (addition).  If we know the whole and a part, we can find out the missing part using both addition and subtraction.  We will use our knowledge of part-part-whole to solve a variety of math problems.
We've been adding a lot of things to our Seesaw Account! Go see our technology products!



SCIENCE
We will continue learning about our natural resources such as water, rocks, soil, trees, sun, air and more.  We will brainstorm and discuss why it is important to conserve these natural resources, keep them clean and to pollute them.  We will start the week by exploring water, its properties, its movement, and uses.  Why is it important to conserve fresh water? why is it important not to pollute water? What are the different natural sources of water.
