Week of January 21st

Hello Room 15!

I hope everyone enjoys their extra day off! We have been talking about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in class and the students came up with their dreams for our world. We will have them up in the classroom by Wednesday or Thursday; please take a look when you get a chance.

We were quite busy last week writing about things we like and don't like about winter. Your children did an amazing job of using their knowledge of letter sounds to write new words and are really memorizing how to read and spell their high frequency words. Their amazing writing is displayed on the bulletin board and windows in our classroom.

A new set of Scholastic Book Orders will go home on Tuesday and will be due on Monday, January 28th! If you would like to order, please either send your check and order forms in to school in your child's red folder or order online at www.scholastic.com/parentordering

This week we will start our journal writing, learn two new high frequency words, start working with short "i" words (sit, pig, lid, etc.), and focus on numbers 11 - 20.

Keep reading to and with your child for at least 20 minutes a day! Please watch for information regarding a "winter clothes drive" that our class is going to take part in.

Thanks for all of your support! Please contact me with any questions or concerns!

Amanda
