Happy Valentine's Day week!

Here is a look at what we will be learning this week...
*Language Arts/Reading: We will continue to work in our Language! books this week. The focus will be on making inferences, nouns, and reading a passage about Bats!

*Math: This week we will be wrapping up our graphing unit with review of bar, line, pictographs, and circle graphs.  We also will be reviewing how to read a grid graph and tally charts.  There will be a short quiz on Friday.

*Social Studies:  The first three days of the week will be spent finishing our in-class project on Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.  Due to some technical changes, we are actually completing this project using Prezi, instead of E-book creator.  I will be sure to add the link to these presentations once they are complete.  On Friday, we will learn about the Statue of Liberty to introduce the U.S. region unit, which will begin on the following Monday.

*Social Skills: Our focus for Social Skills this week will be on the February holidays.  We will complete a few Valentine's Day graphing and math activities, as well as President's Day activities.

Have a wonderful week!!

What a very chilly beginning to February!!  I hope that everyone stays warm this weekend!

Here is a look at next week's curriculum....

*Language Arts and Reading:  In our Language program, we are continuing to explore how to segment words into their individual sounds.  We also will be learning about nouns, vocabulary mapping, and comprehension.
*Math: This week, we are moving onto reading tables, tally charts, and line graphs.
*Social Studies: With Presidents Day a few weeks away, we are going to study and learn about the life and accomplishments of two important presidents: George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.  On Friday the students will choose one of those presidents to create an e-Book of their life.  Once they are complete, I will be sure to post them online!!
*Social Skills:  We are spending the week focusing on emotions: discussing what they are, when we experience them, how we recognize them in other people, and how to deal with them.

Have a wonderful weekend!!
