Mrs. Embretson, February 12
Week at a glance...
Writing: I introduced "tree-maps" as a way to organize information about a topic and modeled how to transfer this information to sentence form or a storybook. Check out the picture below to see our writing about Zebras.
Math: We noticed number patterns on our big number chart and started counting by 5's, in addition to counting by 1's and 10's. We also practiced the partners for 10.
Social Studies/Science/Health: We continued learning about the solar system. I read books about the moon and stars and we watched a video about the moon on BrainPopJr.com. Our Let's Find Out magazine showed us how we use our senses to know that it is Valentine's day.

Yearbooks--Ordering a yearbook gives your child a chance to look back at the year with fond memories. They will enjoy it for years to come. There are only a few weeks left before the deadline. The yearbook has more pages and pictures this year, so be sure to put your order in now! To order go to www.ybpay.com and follow the directions. It will ask you which school you want to order from, and then take you to the correct school site. If you have any questions, please contact rhonda.tomnitz@republicschools.org.
