February+3+to+February+7

Sorry about not having updated this website in a couple weeks. My computer at home crashed and I normally update from home. It has now been replaced so updates will be done each week. __Language__ The letter U is the letter of the week with the Jolly Phonics song being _ Up, Up Umbrella...u u u. This is a very difficult letter for kids to learn the sound. They often say "y".-so practicing at home is helpful.

The students continue to work on writing there books to the crayons. We are writing to yellow and orange this week and into next week. Again, this all comes from the book "The Day the Crayons Quit".

__Math__ Through assessment, we discovered that we need to practice printing our numbers. We are able to recognize them, but have difficulties printing them. Over the next few weeks, each child will work on completing a number book where they are responsible for printing the numbers, and learning little chants to help them with this task.

__Other business:__ This Friday is Wear Red and White or Canada spirit wear to support our Canadian atheletes.

Valentine's Day is coming up. Remember to have your child put only his or her name on the Valentine, NOT their friends name. Treats are welcome as long as they are nut-free and fish-free.

100 Day - Remember to count out 100 items and place them in a Ziploc bag and bring them to school. These items can come to school anytime between now and 100's Day!!
