R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Mrs. Paschal's father came on Friday and talked to the school about respect. Here are some photos I snapped while he was here.
Inventions
We took a "field trip" down the hall to look at the inventions some of the older kids had made. I'm pretty sure we have some aspiring inventors!

Just a few things...
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that this week we finished up graphing and are starting addition facts to 18.
As we prepare for Stanford please, please, please review math facts with your children. I have noticed that while most of the kiddoes understand the concept of addition and subtraction they are still struggling to recall addition and subtraction facts. I'm still seeing a lot of guessing and not many strategies being used for addition. Counting on, counting back, using a number line, even using fingers is ok! If kids can recall math facts now with no problem it will make math in the upper grades sooooo much easier so pull out those flash cards! :) Thanks for your support!

Picture Issues....
I just realized that for some reason when I post pictures they aren't showing up on the blog as the full size...if you click on the picture you will be able to see the whole thing as well as all the pictures in the series.
Home project....due February 27th
A home project is going home with the homework this week. In the explanation it says we read a book called How Did That Get In My Lunchbox. Our class read another book called how to Make an Apple Pie and See the World....different book, but same concept. The project is due February, 27th.

This week....
Hello! Sorry for the lack of updates and pictures...my camera is broken and I haven't had the time (or money) to go and have it repaired. Hopefully over the holidays I can take it somewhere!
Here is what is going on this week:
Spelling--our spelling/phonics rules are getting a little more complicated! We are learning that the "long a" sound is spelled a_e like in the word cake, that "c" can make a /s/ sound when an "i" or an "e" comes after it...like in the the word circle and ice. We are also learning that "g" can make a "j" sound when a "i" or an "e" comes after it...like in the word gem and giant.
During workstations your child will be making an ABC order winter words book, making an elf glyph, sorting -th, -wh, and -sh words, and writing a story about what they have in their cupboard at home.
Last week in math we used our number grids to count forward and back. We also did a lot of skip counting by 2's, 5's and 10's. This week, we will be using number lines. The class will be playing lots of math games to help them reinforce their addition facts this week as well as odd and even numbers.
Since we have LDC this week, our new PYP planner will start next week. The central idea is that pictures and symbols help us determine where we are in place and time.
