Betsy Ross and Abraham Lincoln
Reply
We had TWO special guests come talk to us today. Betsy Ross and Abraham Lincoln stopped by and the kids learned a lot about these two American Heroes. Ask your child about them!
Reminders
1. NO SCHOOL MONDAY February 20th in observance of Presidents day!
2. Don’t forget to go on and record your child’s reading minutes for our Library Reading Challenge. Many students are becoming sad when I don’t pass them out an airplane to color to hang up around the school. They ask why they don’t get one and I have to remind them to tell you parents to go on and record their minutes. Get in the habit of doing this weekly! Thanks!

Homework for Week Feb. 20-24th
Here is the Homework Tracker
Here is the link to your child’s phonics fluency stories Level 2 Anita Archer Fluency. Please print Lesson 5 and have your child read it each night. Time them for 1 minute and have them read as many words as they can. If they get to the bottom they will go back to the top and continue reading until the 1 minute is up.
-PLEASE make sure your child is bringing their blue folder everyday to school. There are passages in them that are another resource for reading I am asking that you have them read it EVERY NIGHT.
They need to be timed for 1 minute and then using their retell ropes (in back of sheet protector) to tell you as much as they can about the story.
Here are homework-fluency-instructions for help.
- Complete the ODD problems of their My Math Homework pages.
- Then time your child for 1 minute and 15 seconds on the math timing addition-and-subtraction-fluency-timings and record how many they complete.
Here is a list of our spelling words this week for those of you who would still like to review/ practice at home.

WE ARE GOING TO BE AUTHORS!
We are going to be writing our very own classroom book. It will actually be published and the kids are SO excited! We voted and picked today what kind of book we wanted to do. They chose an ABC book using animals. I showed them a clip of a book to give them an idea and they decided they wanted to do one like it.
Here is a link to the clip if you would like to have an idea of what we will be doing.
We drew letters and here is a list of what they drew. BE CREATIVE! They have all week to decide. By Friday February 10th they need to have these items written down on a piece of paper and turned in so I can look over them so we can get started on Monday.
You can not use all of the same things from the book.
They will need to think of: 
2 animals with that letter
2 names- 1 boy ,1 girl name
1 place
1 item to sell
ALL THESE THINGS SHOULD START WITH THEIR LETTER.
