Ahh...Warmer Weather

The kids finally got to go outside this morning!  They had a blast in all the new piles of untouched snow.

This week:
Monday: Star Student: Grace
Tuesday: Spelling Test
Wednesday: Chapel
Thursday: Last day to earn snowballs for the Reading Incentive
Friday: Pizza Lunch, Scholastic Book Order Due

Grade 1s just finished a math unit on addition and subtraction.  They did fantastic with it!  They should be able to confidently use the signs -, +, and =.  They are working with numbers up to 12 right now.  There are some links on the blog page that the kids have enjoyed using to practice their math skills.  Have you tried them out at home yet?

Grade 2s are working on addition and subtration in math class.  They are really working on using the math families to solve word problems. There is some confusion on turning the addition sentences 'backwards' to get a subtraction sentence.
For example:
4 + 3 = 7
3 + 4 = 7
7 - 3 = 4
7 - 4 = 3

Munsch week was a huge success!  I hope you heard about some of the activities we did at school.  There is a bulletin board with a few highlights posted in the chapel area. 

February is I Love to Read Month!!!  There are always exciting events in our classroom, and school wide during this month.  Watch for further details....

New pictures to come next week...Have a fabulous end to January!
