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.

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 rereading and our skill of cause and effects. Our stories are Firsts in Flight and Hot Air Balloons, which are both expository texts.
Phonics:
Homophones – ex. sail, sale, beat, beet, road, rowed, rode, its, it’s, your, you’re, their, they’re, there
Vocabulary:
-controlled -direction -flight -impossible -launched -motion -passenger –popular
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!
Remember to read and work on your multiplicatio(Reflex)!
