Weekly Update

Hello Parents,

I hope your weekend went well and you got to spend some downtime with your child! Please see below for some news and updates for the week ahead!

 Supplies

It’s hard to believe, but we have made it to the halfway point in the year! Please talk to your child and see if they need any new supplies. We have gone through quite a bit of our supply stockpile. We recently had to have a conversation as a whole about being responsible for our own things like glue sticks, pencils and crayons. Many students need new scissors, crayons, and markers. Please speak to your child and see if they are in need of anything. If so, could you please send those in with your child. If you are unable to, please reach out to me and I will make arrangements to get whatever supplies your child needs. 


Kindness Spirit Week

As you have seen in Mrs. Smith’s Husky Update, we will be celebrating Kindness Week next week. To help celebrate we will be participating in spirit days. The schedule of events is below! 



Valentine’s Day

We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day on Tuesday, February 14th. We will take the afternoon to pass out our valentines, watch a Valentine’s show and do some fun Valentine’s activities. If your student chooses to participate in the Valentine exchange, please make sure that they bring in a valentine for everyone. We will  make Valentine bags to put them in, but if your child wants to bring in a box or something from home to use, that is fine. The class list has already gone home.  


Historical Fiction


You will see that we are going to begin our unit on Historical Fiction this upcoming week. We will read Number the Stars by Lois Lowry and Blood on the River by Elisa Carbone. I will be reading these books one chapter at a time to the class. If your student would like to bring in their own copy to read and follow along they are welcome to. Sometimes reading and following along helps keep them more focused and engaged. You can buy a copy from Amazon or rent one from the public library. 


Focus Areas for the Coming Week:

  • Reading:  We will begin our Historical Fiction unit. 

  • Math:  We will continue working on fractions

  • VA Studies:  We will continue Chapter 5 - Revolutionary War


As always, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. I am looking forward to a great week!
