Dear Parents:
I hope you all had a nice weekend. My weekend had its ups and downs. My cousin's daughter was married Friday evening. That was an up! My daughter, Tara, was a bridesmaid. That was an up! All three of my children were here for the wedding, including my daughter-in-law, and granddog. That was an up! We had lots of family in town, so that was an up! I took last Thursday and Friday off to take care of my two grandbabies as Tara was involved in lots of wedding festivities. That was both an up and down because, unfortunately, my daughter and grandsons were sick. I was so worried about Chase as he just turned four months old last Sunday. I held onto him for the three and a half days that they were here. We did the humidifier, Vicks, etc. that her pediatrician had recommended, but I felt like he was just getting worse. On Saturday they flew home to Texas. Chase continued to get worse. On Sunday morning, Tara took him to the hospital. Right now, they say he has bronchiolitis and are treating him as if he has pneumonia. They kept him in the hospital overnight to give him treatment and it doesn't look like he is going to be released today. So, if you feel inclined, I would so appreciate prayers and good wishes sent his way! Thank you!
Now, on to happy news! We have a busy week ahead! Our Field trip to the Science Center/Planetarium will be tomorrow, February 5! We are so excited! We will eat lunch at school at 11:00 before we go. Parents are welcome to join us by following the bus or meeting us at the Science Center. We will leave school at 11:30. Our tour begins at 12:00 and we will leave to return to school at 2:00. On Wednesday, we will go to the theater at 1:00 for a show called "Woodland Tales". I am also looking forward to sharing your child's progress with you at our conference this week. I am sending home a reminder schedule with your child today. Friday is the 100th day of school! Can you believe it? If you have not done so yet, please be sure to have your child bring in their share of our 100 day snack by tomorrow!
Valentines Day is quickly approaching! We will celebrate the afternoon of February 14 at 1:30. Parents are welcome to join us if you like. I will be sending a list of names for the children to use in writing out their valentine cards. Please have the cards in no later than Monday, February 11.
In Reading Workshop, we continue to learn strategies to help us be great non-fiction readers.
In Writing Workshop, we will continue working on our All-About books. We will finish writing our chapters and add other special features of non-fiction books.
In Math, the children will have experiences revisiting the relationship between addition and subtraction. We'll be working with fact triangles, fact families, and using the Facts Table for subtraction.
In Science, the children will continue working on their planet projects. Last week partners worked together to make plans for constructing the visual part of the project. They collaborated on a design and came up with the list of materials they would need.
This week we will work on constructing the projects! Lots more collaboration will be going on. It's going to be a lot of fun!
