Spell Check Week!

Sharing-Winnie-the-Poohs.  Be sure to note the new sharing topic: Animals!

A big thank you to Katie for the amazing artwork she helped the Room K children create for the Art Gallery!  It was spectacular!  I am sure you will all be thrilled to have these lovely creations hanging in your homes.

Be sure to collect your pledges for the Spell Check

This week we will meet Mr. Q, who loves to ask questions.  This might remind you of your child!  Children are curious and want to know about the world and their questions seem endless, but they are so great!  We are learning to read sentences with question marks, and to raise our voice at the end of reading questions.  We will be working in our Benchmark books, rhyming books, journals and alphabet dictionary.

We have added "writer's workshop" in the mornings.  Using our new bright books, the children are writing short stories (about one sentence!) each morning and illustrating it. The children are very excited about writing and sharing their stories. This is the beginning of our story writing program.  We will be writing our own fairy tales soon!

We are continuing to learn about penguins, winter and snow and this Friday is our science hike!  We are also working in our February math journals.

Our Schedule this Week:
Monday:  Big Buddies
Tuesday:  Planet Bravo
Wednesday:  Yoga, Council, P.E.
Thursday:  Library
Friday:  Morning Assembly, Music, Spell Check, Homework Review, Sharing, Science Hike, P.E.

Thank you all for your help and support in Room K!
Mrs. W.
