We are learning about quotation marks (aka "talking marks") and learning to spell the word "said." As you read to your child, ask them to listen for the word "said" and see if they can spell it for you. We read the book The Polar Bear and the Brave Little Hare. The vocabulary words from the story were warn, concerned, and embarrassed. In math, students worked with a partner to put into order index cards that were numbered either by ones, fives, or tens. The goal for this quarter is for students to count to 100 by any of these means so keep practicing at home. If you haven't already turned in your child's reading minutes from December, please do so as soon as possible so I can get your child his or her Pizza Hut certificate. Tomorrow is library day.
