Happy Friday

Our Reading Challenge is moving along very well! Congratulations to the Appaloosas for making 80% or better all 3 weeks! Congratulations to the Clydesdales for making it 2/3 weeks. Last week the Clydesdales name was drawn for the class that gets to spend 30 minutes of physical activity with Mrs. Frisbie! Congratulations! We are hoping next week will be the Appaloosas! Next week we finish on Feb. 7. Please return Six Flags and the reading log on this day. Final dress up day is "Rock Star." Thanks!
Conferences are approaching in two weeks. We are doing our best to accommodate all of the requests. The notes should go home Tuesday to confirm your times. Thank you for your cooperation!
With all of the snow days, late starts, Martin Luther King Jr., and ACCESS testing we finally started our weather and seasons unit in literacy this week.This connects to Ms. Salas' science unit with the sun, moon, and stars.  I apologize for sending home the spelling and vocabulary words so long ago. These words will all pick up next week. This week we have been busy writing about why we honor Martin Luther King Jr. Next week we really dive into the reasons for the seasons and typical weather patterns in each season. We will be doing several writing activities with this unit.
In math we are learning about place value. I am impressed at how quickly the classes have caught on to counting hundreds, tens, ones, and using base ten blocks. We are getting into adding two digit numbers next week. This week we learned to add two digit plus one digit and make a trade. Keep practicing those facts! This makes adding two digit numbers much more fluent when we can add quickly.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Montes
