Wow! What a busy week. The groundhog saw his shadow, and we have been in school 100 days. Ask your child what his/her favorite part of this exciting week was. Terrific kid is now bi-weekly, so the children will share all the exciting events with you again next week. Until then, enjoy the videos of day 100. The first video is day 100 creations and the second is some of our fun activities. We hope you enjoy them!

We have been working hard in reading learning our first word families. We know–at, –an, –ap, and -ed family words, and have been practicing finding those words in our stories. Next week we will introduce the –en word family. (remember the word family means that all the words end in those letters, for example the –at family includes cat, fat, bat, sat, etc.)

We also continue to learn new word wall words. Our three words will be my, good, ran. Keep reading with your child daily!

In math we will be introducing the nickel, and reviewing the penny. See what your child can tell you about pennies already.

In social studies we will be getting ready for Valentine’s Day by talking about friends. Next Friday we will have our Valentine’s Day celebration and get to open all of our Valentines.

Please remind your child that toys need to stay at home, not at school!

Important reminders for next week:
Wednesday is NOT an early release day
Head over to the NSB speedway to help sell programs. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year!
