A wonderful parent has volunteered to do our box tops again.  Your child brought home a box tops sheet on Thursday be sure to save those box tops. If our class make $100 in box tops we will get a treat.

This week

• We begin our poetry unit. 
• We will also be taking some end on the trimester assessments.

Spelling will resume this week.

Happy Monday,

This week we will continue to work on telling time to the hour and half hour using analog clocks.  We focused on this concept at the end of the week last week however, still need much more practice telling time.

The first graders will also be using a 100 chart to find 10 more, 10 less and 1 more, 1 less than a given number between 1 - 100.  Remember that your child has a 100 chart in their binder along with a number line as a resource to use for their homework.

Monday	IXL - U.3 Match analog and digital clocks

Thank you so much for all the Valentine surprises.  It is so much fun to see how loving and caring all the students are.
