News and Information
Valentine Cards
Please have your child bring their Valentine cards to school no later than Friday, Feb. 10 so they kids can distribute them to the correct box and they will be ready to be opened on Tuesday morning. A class list was sent home with your child on Tuesday.
Also- we will be making our Valentine bags in class. I know other classes might be doing something different, but we are doing ours in class.

Reading
Reading Homework:
Read the story and answer the comprehension questions. Please note the directions stapled to the front of the passage. The kids need to underline their answers in the text to prove where their answer was found.
This IS worth 5 points toward their reading grade. Not returning the passage with questions answered receives a zero in the grade book.
Math
- Adding 4 two-digit numbers using the place value strategy and the associative property of addition
English and Writing
We finish up our realistic fiction pieces and started a quick animal research project to practice for finding our wax museum research. After a couple weeks of animal research we are starting the wax museum research.
Be thinking of the costume for wax museum (which is in April, but start planning for that now.) We will be doing the "hard stuff" at school. Let me know if you need help getting a costume together.
