Our new letter of the week is /Ee/ and our new sight words are "this" and "do." Please practice spelling, reading and writing these sight words every night. Today, we did "What's in Mrs. Wittwer's Bag?" where everything in my bag starts with our letter of the week. Then we read a book about Elvin the Elephant, in "The Enormous Elephant Show." Our math was super fun today! We used a 10 sided die with a partner and were working on less, more, greater, and equal.
This whole week we have a presidential focus. So today we read a book about President Abraham Lincoln, our 16th president discussing his character traits and the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring that slaves are forever free in all of the United States. The students love learning about history and one of our great leaders, they had great insight and thoughts. Tomorrow, we will read about George Washington!
- Thursday is our next book exchange day, please make sure you have a note if you want your child's book exchanged. :)
- Library books are due back on Thursday.
- Clifford (AM) and Tigger (PM), our class pals came home today with one lucky student. Please read the directions, take them on adventure and return on Thursday.
- Homework Folders return on Friday.
Have a great evening!
~Love,
Mrs. Wittwer
