Mrs. Brenner’s Weekly Newsletter: February 21, 2012
*Remember to study math facts, spelling list and to read and record 20 minutes or more in your reading log DAILY.
Your child should complete 3 or 4 of the spelling activities. The pages with the choices of activities will remain in your child’s folder. Your children have been doing a fantastic job on our weekly spelling tests.
This week’s spelling words: why help put different away
knew truth slump junk clue
Bonus word: measurement
This week in class we will focus on:
Language Arts: We will continue to focus on informational writing, similes, onomatopoeias, parts of speech, and plural nouns.
Math: measurement-length and using a ruler – inches, feet, centimeters, meters
Raaid will soon become a big brother! We were talking about measuring babies in inches. Attached to this week’s homework is a paper. Please fill out how long your child was when they were born. We will cut string and compare how long each child was. Please return this top page on Wednesday.
Social Studies: We will continue to read about Jackie Robinson and compare and contrast him to Martin Luther King. The children have had some wonderful discussions about these two men and the ideas of segregation and integration.
*Please remember to send a snack in every day.
*Remember to send a note about transportation changes. I do not always have a chance to check my e-mails before the end of the day.
*Car Rider Parents: Please remember to post your number in your windshield.
*Please send a jacket or coat with your child. As we know the temperature can change very quickly. Also remember to put your child’s name in their jackets, coats, sweatshirts, and sweaters.
