Haiti Passion Project
I am Lania from Mrs. Wallace's class.
Did you know it is almost one month until spring vacation? My family and I are doing something extra special. We are traveling to the country of Haiti, where I was born. Haiti is very beautiful, yet a poor country. The children need our help. They told my mom they really need backpacks and peanut butter. Can you help by donating a new or gently used backpack and a fresh jar of peanut butter? We will be collecting these items until the 22nd in a box by the front office.
Thank you TCE cardinals and together we will bless Haiti!
Daily Snacks
WE ARE STILL IN NEED.....Please consider sending a snack to school with your child each day. Our approved list (to keep all of our Cardinals safe - especially those living with food allergies) include:
fruit
veggies
cheese
Pepperidge Farm Goldfish
Skinny Popcorn
We appreciate donations for our students that are without a snack, as well. Thank you for considering!

We are Learning
Reading
This week, we started to talk more about books in a series when readers aim to be experts on a series of books, they collect lots of information about the main characters in that series. Over the next few weeks, we will be diving into this topic!
Writing
Word Study
Repeated Sort: Students will sort their words. Then check their words using the answer key. Then sort their words again!
Draw and Label: Students choose 10 of their words. Then they will draw a picture of each world and label it.
Blind Sort: Using given guide words, or headers, students spell or write in words in the correct category as a partner calls each word aloud without showing it.
Writing Sort: Students write their words under the correct category.
Speed Sort: Students sort words quickly under the correct categories (use a timer to see how fast they can do it!) Students love to beat records and to set goals for themselves.
Word Hunt: Students hunt through their own reading and writing for words that are additional examples of the sound, pattern, or meaning unit they study!
Buddy Sort: Using the given headers, students sort their words with a partner, then discuss. They will then check their work with their answer key.
