This week we are starting a new theme: Theme 5: Whatever the Weather. We will be reading "What Will the Weather Be like Today?" and "When a Storm Comes Up". The students will be learning about different kinds of weather in these books.

We will be learning and writing the letters Bb and Kk.

High Frequency Words: me, for. Work at home with your child by using the words in sentences. Also, you can use the sight words I gave the students at Christmas! Put the sight words, me and for, on your refrigerator. Have them read them and try to think of words that rhyme with them each day.

The students will learn the vocabulary words: prefer, fading, warn, whirl, perhaps, property.

I will be asking the students:

*Show me which you prefer - to whirl or to stand still

*Tell how a meteorologist might warn us about the weather

*Tell about something that perhaps might fade in the sun.

*Tell about your property. (Your backpack, your toys, the things in your room)

In math we will be finishing up Chapter 5-Geometry and Fractions. We will be starting on Chapter 6 at the end of the week - Numbers 10 - 30. The students will be learning how to group numbers using ten-frames.
