PE PROGRAM
Please mark your calendar for Tuesday, February 3rd. Our P.E coaches along with our
fantastic first graders have planned a great performance for all of us! Please be here at 6:15. If possible, girls wear red shirts and
boys wear white shirts. All children must
wear tennis shoes. I hope to see you
there!
VALENTINES PARTY
Our Valentines Party will be on Friday, February 13th (1:15-2:15). Please check your child's Tuesday Folder for a class list and have your child make a small valentine for each classmate. You may choose to buy these from stores or have your child make their own valentines. We have almost two weeks, so there should be plenty of time for the kiddos to write their classmates' names on their valentines. The students can start bringing their valentines to school starting the week of Feb 9th.

READING and WRITING
This week we will still continue our unit on research. As we ask questions about a topic and find out some information in books, magazines and internet, we realize that sometimes we come up with more questions. We record things that we learn and questions that we still wonder about. We are also learning about the importance of recording the information in our own words. In other word we are learning how to paraphrase. We will also learn what information are important. Sometimes authors add some interesting facts, but not all are important for us to remember.

MATH
This week we will wrap up our unit on 2-D shapes. We have learned so much about different shapes such as squares, rectangles, triangles, trapezoids, circles, ovals diamonds and rhombuses. We have learned about their attributes such as the number of straight sides, corners, curves and so on. This week, we will learn about dividing our two-dimensional figures into two and four and decide whether or not the parts are equal or fair share. We will use vocabularies such as equal parts, fair, not fair, same size pieces, half, fourth, fourths, quarters or a quarter of.
SCIENCES
This week we will learn about the natural world including rocks, soil and water. We will learn about the physical properties of soil and sort different types of soil based on particle size, color and texture. We will explore and discover about some useful products that we can make using rocks, soil, and water.

HABIT #1: Be Proactive: I am a responsible person. I am in charge of me. I choose my actions, attitude, and mood.
THANK
YOU!
Thank you for remembering to send your children to school with
warm clothes and coats. Sometimes, even
on cold days, we will still go outside and run around just for 10 minutes. The kiddos do well with inside recess most of
the time, but there are days that they need to get outside and run out some of
that energy!
