Dear Friends of Room 114,
Happy 2012! I hope everyone had a wonderful break. I had an amazing time with friends and family. I was fortunate enough to explore parts of the country I had not yet been to, sleep in and eat LOTS of delicious food.
Here are a few announcements for this week:
- • Before break I announced that we would have a student teacher from Ohio beginning today. Unfortunately due to issues with certification she will not be able to student teach at a CPS school.
- • Please email me at slhorgan@cps.edu if you would like to set up a time to briefly meet in the morning to discuss your child’s progress.
- • There is no school Monday, January 16, 2012 in observance of MLK day.
This week in reading we will be reviewing sequence of events in books with animal themes. We will be reading How Leopard Got His Spots and The Rain Forest. Students will be introduced to homophones and the ch, tch sound. During writing workshop we will write about our winter holiday adventures. I will also be helping students edit their own work. In math we will review standard and non-standard measurement and telling time. We will also use dominoes to write addition and subtraction problems. In science we will continue our rock investigation.
Welcome Back!
