Happy New Year

Happy New Year!  I hope you enjoyed the holidays and time with your family. It's hard to believe it is January...maybe because of the weather. 

This week we are reading two versions of "The Mitten". We have worked on sequencing and comparing and contrasting two stories. We are also working on prefixes, suffixes and compound words.  We are reviewing the months of the year. 

We are beginning blends and next week we'll begin long a.  

In math we are continuing to work on measuring with nonstandard units. I've added some great math games to the class blog. Please check them out. 

We'll be talking about snow and whether winter is our favorite season. 

Don't forget to send in the December reading calendar by the end of the week. 

Book orders are due by Friday, January 18. 

There is no school the next two Mondays January 14 and 21. 

Enjoy the rest of the week and the unseasonably warm weather.
