"Beary" Important Things to Work on at Home

Phonics: 

Long vowel sounds:

A = ape

E = eagle

I = ice cream

O = overalls

U = unicorn

Practice marking short and long vowels in words. ex. cap, cape, lick, like, men, mean, cut, cute, etc. Please see me if you have any questions about this!

*Short Vowel Rule: When there is one vowel in a word it is usually short; mark it with a "smiley face."

*Long Vowel Rule: When there are two vowels in a word, the first one is usually long; mark it with a "straight stick." The second vowel is usually silent; cross it out.

Sight Words:

Your child will be tested over these words on Friday, Feb. 17. Sight words will be part of their Oral Reading grade from now until the end of the school year.

Count to 100 independently.

Identify numbers 0 - 100 in mixed order.

Count by 10's to 100.

Tell time to the hour.

Identify a penny and know its' worth: Penny, penny, easily spent. Copper brown and worth one cent.

Identify a nickel and know its' worth: Nickel, nickel, thick and fat. You're worth five cents. I know that!

Identify a dime and know its' worth: Dime, dime, little and thin. I remember you're worth ten!

Practice the 5 Addition family. (All the answeers are 5)

 "Beary" Important Announcements

1. Weekly Homework will come home on Monday. Be sure to complete and return by Friday.
2. I will be sending home your child's Cap & Gown on Monday. I will keep their tassle at school. They will wear these for our class picture on February 28. Girls need to wear a light colored dress, white socks or tights and white shoes. No ponytails so that caps will stay on their heads. Boys need to wear dark pants, dark socks and dark shoes with a white dress shirt and tie.
3. We will have Show & Tell on Tuesday this next week. Please have your child bring in something that was made in China. Your child will receive points in Social Studies for this assignment.
4. I sent home a "Tooth Brushing Chart" last week. Please have your child color the sun each time they brush their teeth in the morning, and the moon each time they brush their teeth at night. Return all charts on Thursday, March 1. Your child will receive a grade in Social Studies for this Dental Health Month project.
5. If you could help me out one morning a week with taking students to the Library to take an AR Test, please send me an email. I could use help on Monday, Thursday or Friday.
6. We will have our Valentine's Day Party on Tuesday, February 14 @ 11:00 in our classroom. I will post a sign up sheet outside our classroom door if you would like to bring something. We will also pass out Valentine cards. Please make sure to include one card for each student. Please have your child bring in a gift bag with handles to collect their cards.
7. Throughout the school year I would like to attend at least one outside of school event for your child. (Like a recital, ball game, or whatever they participate it.) Please let me know of any upcoming events so that I can make plans to attend!
