Feb.12th

Reading: We have been practicing finding the main idea and note taking in nonfiction books. 
Math:  We introduced a "quarter to" this week.  This is hard for most children because the hour hands are different for digital clock.  I sent home their pretest we took about 2 weeks ago.  We should be ready to take the post test next week.  It would be wonderful if parents took the time to review the pretest with their child.  We went over it in class.
Social Studies:  We talked about voting, elections, and map studies.
Science:  We are studying matter and looking at the ways we can change solids.  We also had a visit from the dentist and talked about being healthy.
Art:  We finished our warm and cool pictures and started working on designing our names using different patterns.

We will be having a Valentine Party on Tuesday.  There are 28 children in our class.  The class list were sent home on Thursday.
