LITTLE CEASAR FUNDRAISER!!!
As we didn’t quite reach our Little Caesars goal, the fundraiser will be extended until Friday, February 28th. For every three cards sold by elementary students, they will receive a prize. The top class will win a pizza and ice cream party.
The Little Caesars Breadstick cards are $10 and gives you 10 bags of breadsticks and crazy sauce. These usually cost over $4. This gives you a savings of over $30. Quest makes $7 off of every card students sell. The money raised for this fundraiser helps with field trips, field day, after school clubs and other school activities. These cards make great gifts for neighbors, friends, and family members.
Each student has been given a new fundraising form. If it has been lost or you’ve sold SO many that you need a new one, just let me know!

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 continue 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.
Reading:
This week we will be practicing our comprehension skill of identifying theme and recognizing the literary elements of repetition and rhyme. Our stories are The Giant, Captian’s Log, The Winningest Woman of the Iditarod Dog Sled Race, The Brave Ones, and Narcissa. Each of these are poems.
Phonics:
Soft c and g – ex. circle, race, city, page, general, cage
Comparatives and Superlatives: bigger/biggest, happier/happiest
Vocabulary:
-courageous -extremely -weird -free verse -narrative -repetition -rhyme -adventurous
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!
