Week of Monday, February 29th!

I can't believe tomorrow is the last day of February!  We have a very busy week ahead of us!
 
We are on our last week of unit 6 in reading.  We will end the unit with working on making connections when reading and comparing texts.  We will focus on words with air, are, ear, and eer.  We will also be reviewing comprehension skills we have focused on throughout the whole unit.  Remember, homework will reflect those skills and the end of the week tests will be a cumulative assessment over everything they have learned in unit 6.  We will also focus on leveled readers in reading groups this week. 
 
We will be completing our "study guide" in math on Monday.  They will bring the study guide  home in their home-school folder.  We will test over mental math on Thursday.  Please make sure to look over the math papers that come home with your child.  This way you can see their successes and what they need extra practice with.  We will be working on our last set of "facts" for math fluency.  We will be working on doubles!
 
We are putting our finishing touches on our classroom for Multi-Cultural Night!  Make sure to stop by the room on Thursday night (and outside of the classroom to see something AWESOME)!  Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it Thursday night.  I am so bummed because I have never missed one and I know how hard the students work for this night as well as all the great and fun things that happen.  My daughter's preschool is having a Kindergarten night and it is a time to meet and greet the Kindergarten teachers and the principal.  Miss Hutchison will be covering my room and I'll be there in spirit!
 
*Important Reminders!*
 
Multi-Cultural Night this Thursday, March 3rd! 6-8p.m.  Come enjoy entertainment, learn about countries all over the world, and eat some great cultured food!
 
Have a great week! :)
