Announcements:
*I posted a few weeks ago about our spring Parent/Teacher Conferences we are having on February 21st (Tues.) and February 23rd (Thurs.) from 3:00-7:00 both nights. Please go back to that post and sign-up for a time that works best for your schedule. I’m excited to sit down with every student’s parents.

Multiplication Madness: Yay!  We are almost done passing off our multiplication facts!  The students have been working SO hard!  I’m so proud of them!  We have learned all of our multiplication facts 0-12. The students will have an opportunity daily to pass them off until this Tuesday, February 14th. Please continue to practice and drill these multiplication facts at home. Thanks for all the hard work!

Don’t forget to bring Valentine’s Day cards for all the students in our class on February 14th.  There are 26 kids in our class.  Please just have the students sign their name to all the cards and not address them to each student.  Thanks!

Homework:

Reading
Of course, reading is the most important part of our homework! All of us should be reading 20 minutes a night, 5 nights a week. Please print off the Sort and Reading Log to record how many minutes your child read each night. Please sign and return it on Friday.

Math-We will be working on fractions throughout the next month.
Monday-fractions number line 1
Tuesday- No Math!  Happy Valentine’s Day! 🙂
Wednesday- fractions number line 2
Thursday-fractions number line 3
**Friday-Homework and Sort and Reading Log due!


Spelling
This week the students will be reviewing long a vowel sounds.
Please print off this sort: 2-17 Sheet1
Monday-Indicated Sort
Tuesday-ABC Sort
Wednesday-Sort by the number of letters in each word
Thursday-Speed Sort
The students will use this sort to practice the indicated patterns. Quest has asked us to have the students type their spelling word sort each night, but I would like to keep homework quick and simple. Just have your children sort the words. They do not need to type or write the sort.
