Hello Families of Room 22,
Announcements:
Yearbook Photos: Please send any photos that you have taken of our class to our yearbook coordinator,
Abbey Cantrell, at [email protected]. All photos need to be taken/collected by March 21st. Thank
you!
Robots: I am hoping we can build our robots in class this Friday, but we need many more supplies for this activity (i.e. toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls, cereal boxes, cracker boxes, bottle caps, duct tape, tin foil, etc.). Thank you for all of your donations thus far!
Spelling: Please note that there was some confusion (on my part) about one of the spelling words. One of the sight words should be “know”, not “no”(we already had the later spelling). I am sorry for the mix-up.
Learning This Week:
Language & Grammar: We will use commas as we write our “How To” books.
Spelling: The spelling words this week have 3 beginning blends: scream, strut, stream, stress, and strap. and our sight words are: work, know, place, years, andlive.
Math: We will take our Topic 8 test on Monday and then begin Topic 15, Geometry, on Tuesday.
Writing: We will start writing “How To” books . We will use the words first, next, and last to explain the steps of a procedure.
Reading/Daily 5: Students will “read to self”, “read to someone”, “listen to read”, “word work” or“write” each morning.
Social Studies: We will celebrate Dr. Seuss, take a look at “friendship”, and may also begin, Chapter 10, What Do Families Need and Want?

Reading: February reading calendars are due. A March reading calendar came home with your child on Friday. Please read for 15-20 min. each night and record your child's minutes on their March Reading Calendar.
