Welcome to February!

Highlights Of Our Learning:
-Today we looked at the February calendar and talked about some important dates this month. Please see the FYI's for more information. We also talked about the fact that this year, February is a Leap Year!
-Students worked with the "---ing" family today. We created and practiced reading numerous words including: sing, king, wing, sting, spring, bling, sling, fling, thing etc. Please review this word family with your child at home and see how many words they can share with you.
-We played a new math game called "Totally Ten Snakes". The object of this game is to cover two numbers at a time that make "Friends of Ten". Students are getting faster at recognizing these combinations.
-We practiced reading poems from our Poetry books.
-We had music and gym. Please ask your child to tell you the exciting things they did in those classes today.
-We finished the day by working on a special artistic endeavour that we will be sharing with you on Thursday evening at our Learning Celebration.
