100 Days of School

Happy New Year, everyone! Here is the lastest news from Mrs. Barrett. Remember to attend your conference this week.

Tuesday is the 100th day of school. For Tuesday, 1/26/10, please allow your child to bring a collection of 100 items to school. Examples are 100 Cheerios, 100 Fruit Loops, 100 cotton balls, 100 stickers, etc. The items are non returnable (the children will be sharing, graphing and counting objects to 100). If you have any questions, please let Mrs. Barrett know. 100 day items need to be sent in a plastic baggie.

In Math, we are learning about number sense and measurement. In Language Arts, we are working with vowels in the middle of words. In Science we are measuring data (it's tied in with the math standard of measurement.) and in Social Studies we are learning about Dr. Martin Luther King.

Next month is Black History Month and President's Day. For the week of February 1st, please find and either cut out or print a picture of President Obama and send to class. Kindergarten is doing a picture wall of the current era of Black History and we will be doing classroom studies about President Obama for Black History Month.
