READING
            Next week we will be learning about fact/opinion.  We will be writing an opinion paragraph.  In grammar, we will continue to work on prefixes, suffixes and root words. 


                               MATH
                          We finished our chapter on place value.  Our chapter test will be on Monday.  Our next chapter will be on three-digit addition and subtraction.  Please remember to practice addition and subtraction flashcards with your child.

Elizabeth Ide Book Drive
            We are collecting books to donate to Mr. Lazar’s previous school.  Please send in any books that are gently used to school by February 27th.  Thanks for your help!

  
Student  of the Week
Emily is the Student of the Week!  She likes to dance, eat spicy chicken wings and play with her friends.    Her favorite animal is a dog and her favorite color is blue.   When Emily grows up she wants to be a Veterinarian.






Happy Birthday!
Zach – January 23


Recess
          We go outside for recess unless the wind chill is below 20 degrees.  The children need to bring snow pants and boots in order to play in the snow.  Any child who needs to stay inside for recess will need a doctor's note.

Valentine Shoe Boxes
Each child needs to bring in an empty shoe box for our valentines.  Please bring these in by January 30th.  We will need some volunteers to wrap the boxes with white paper.  Let me know if you can help us!
