Speech & Language:  This week we will practice the blend of /sh/.  We will practice lacing shoes and our snack of sherbert will be contributed by Zachary!

Sharing:  Tiggers will share this week.

Important things to remember:
Check our class calendar and the school website calendar for upcoming events!

Book Charts are due at the end of each month (that will be this Tuesday and no later than Friday)

Raz-Kids is now part of our nightly homework.  Please practice for 10 minutes (minimum) each night.  The procedure is:
Select a story from those on your assigned reading level.
Listen to a story
Read the story
Record yourself reading the story
Listen to yourself reading the story
Take the comprehension test (levels A and above)


I will listen to children reading from my computer and send a message and stars.  Help your child buy items with their starts to decorate their robot and rocket ship.

Your involvement has a direct correlation to your child's success in school!

Hike week is this week and we are planning on taking our hike this Friday (unless it rains).

This Thursday we will get to experience Colonial Days, a 5th grade tradition here at TECS.  We will visit the living history "museum" in the 5th grade classrooms from 1:00-1:30.

February 7th is the 100th Day of School!  We will be celebrating by having a fun-filled day of activities.  I have prizes for the children and will be asking for parent helpers and donations to complete the celebration.  We will have Topanga author Sue Ganz Schmitt coming to class to read her new book:  Planet Kindergaten 100 Days in Orbit!
***************************************************************************************************************************

Reading:
This week we will me Letter Person Q.  We are continuing to advance writing skills and diligently working on improved fine-motor skills.

Math:  We will begin our February Math Journals and are completing our Handwriting Without Tears numbers, learning to form the numbers correctly and establishing one-to-one correspondence.  We are learning to make number sentences to complete addition and subtraction math problems and to represent the math sentences with illustrations.

Please remember to send your child in appropriate shoes suitable for running and playing.  Please send jackets and dress your child in layers to accommodate outdoor play.

Our dramatic play kitchen refrigerator is still in need of repair.  If you can help attach the freezer door it would be much appreciated!

Thank you for all of the fantastic help in Room K!

Sharing this week:  Poohs and Tiggers
This is a reminder that all children have been signed up for Raz-Kids.  A letter was sent home last week with information about logging on.  This is part of our homework and all children should use the program for at least 10 minutes a night.  If you have any problems logging on, please let me know.  I am checking the recordings weekly and rewarding children with bonus stars and sending messages.

Please remember to donate and share the link for our TK/Kindergarten Donors Choose project:
