The word family taught today was the -ink family. We brainstormed words such as sink, pink, think, drink, Tinkerbell, blink, wink, wrinkle, etc.. Please practice these words with your child this week.

Grade 2's are still reviewing all sight words taught to date this week. A list and a reading selection will be going home this week. I apologize for not sending this home last week, but I was still in the process of testing each student.

Grade 1's are also reviewing all sight words taught to date. I will send a list and a reading selection home with each after I test them.

On Wednesday February 8th our class, along with Mrs. Sandhu's class, will be hosting an open house for parents to attend. The open house will begin at 9:00 am in the classroom. Students will be showcasing some of their work to date. We will head to the gym at 9:30 to perform some of the dances we learned in gym this year. Parents will be participating too!!!

Don't forget to do your home reading every night. It is encouraged to take the same book home several nights in a row to practice fluency, especially at the higher levels. Please also ensure that your child brings his/her home reading book back to school everyday.

Please practice basic math facts on a regular basis.

Tomorrow is PE so please make sure your child has proper indoor footwear. Students should have indoor shoes that fit their feet properly. If your child is still unable to tie his/her shoes, please send a pair of Velcro shoes for indoors. Thank you for your cooperation.

Have a great evening!
Mrs. G
