Week 23   January 30-February 3


Hi everyone!  I hope you had a nice restful weekend.
I wanted to let you know that Mrs. Zavala has been very diligent in keeping the homework records for our class.  If you child is consistently not turning in their homework (which includes their reading logs), you will be getting an email from me.  Please let me know if you have questions about the homework.


Tuesday is our 100th Day of School!  We are planning a lot of fun activities for the students.  I would ask that you let them bring in 100 items in a plastic (small) baggie.  It can be edible or non-edible.  We will be doing graphing and sorting activities with what they bring in.


A gentle reminder....we will be reading A Bargain for Frances next week, so please make sure your child has their own book to read from.

We will also be reviewing many of the skills and concepts that we have learned throughout the entire year including shapes, position, and "greater than" and "less than". We will celebrate our 100th day of school on Tuesday by completing many activities that will help us conceptualize just how big the number 100 really is. 0
