Math:
Multiplication Facts:
We are going to be working very diligently at mastering our multiplication facts. Students have been learning to skip count as a strategy to learn our facts. The more they practice at home, the more efficient they become at recalling their facts!
This week we begin our unit on Fractions. We will spend the next few weeks working on naming fractions, fractions on a number line, comparing fractions, and fractions as a whole. We will be using food during our faction unit. The items that we could be using are: Valentines Conversation Hearts, plain M&Ms, and Skittles. Click the link below for the Food Permission Form.

Reading:
This week we will be practicing our comprehension strategy of asking and answering questions and our skill of determining point of view. Our stories are The Impossible Pet Show and The Talented Clementine, which are both realistic fiction stories.
Phonics:
Plural Words: adding -s, -es, & -ies
Vocabulary:
-achievement -apologized -attention -audience -confidence -realized -embarrassed -talents
In class, we learn about these vocabulary words in connection to ourselves. If you notice your child using any of these words in context, this would be a great opportunity to celebrate their efforts!
FEBRUARY POEMS
Each month students are required to memorize at least one poem. Below are the month’s poems. We only read through these in class once, so they need to be practiced at home. Students can pass off poems on Fridays whenever they are ready to recite them.
OPTIONAL – yet HIGHLY encouraged by Ms. Beckstead – REVIEW
- Read at least 20 minutes per day. Making sure that your child does his/her reading daily is the single most helpful thing you can do to support educational success.
- I have been trying to make time for students to work on REFLEX during the day, but some days it just isn’t possible. Please check with your child to see if they got their green light during the day. If not, doing it at home would be a big help to your child!
