It's 100 days of school.....

Sing the title to It's a Small World and it will stick with you I promise!  :)  It is so hard to believe that we are already at the 100th day of school.  The kids are really enjoying our 100 day activities.  Wait until you see our portraits at 100 years old!!

We are starting our last week of our sight word activities.  We will be working on word chunks starting next week.  Please continue to practice reading and spelling those word cards at home as you will be seeing those words on our upcoming spelling tests.

We are starting Gumball Math this week.  Gumball math will be done on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  The students will be given 3 minutes to complete 50 problems.  Once they pass test 1 at 100% they will move on to test 2.  Test 1 and test 2 are addition to 5.  Test 3 and test 4 are subtraction from 5.  Test 5 and test 6 are addition to 10.  Test 7 and test 8 are subtraction from 10.  Test 9 is addition to 18 and test 10 is subtraction from 18.  Each time they pass a test they will be given a gumball to stick on their gumball machine in the hallway and a gumball to eat.  Please work on those math facts at home!

Our story this week is called Yasmin's Ducks.  We will be working on the long o sound, the -ed inflectional ending, and we will be reviewing cause and effect.

We will be finishing up our math unit this week and will be taking our math test on Friday.

Groundhog's Day on Thursday will bring some prediction and weather activities.

Just a reminder...Adventure club on Thursday.

Have a great week!
