Classroom News
Reading: This week we will be reading“Dear Mr. Blueberry.” Thisselection is an informational story. An informational story gives facts about a topic through a story plot. This week’s story will give us information about whales with the help of the vivid imagination of a young girl. As you read the story with your child, have your child look for characters that tell facts, and have them retell the beginning, middle, and end. This week our readingfocus skill is “make inferences.” You can help at home by asking your child to make inferences or “read between the lines” as he/she is reading. Good readers use story clues to make inferences to understand what is happening in a story. Please emphasize to your child that good readers always pay attention to whether they understand what they are reading. This week our reading focus strategy is “read ahead.” When your child is having trouble understanding the ideas or details in what he/she is reading, he/she can read ahead a bit to look for clues to help him/her make sense of things that confuse them. Please practice these skills and strategies when you read at home with your child.

Social Studies: Barter Day is on Thursday! Your child should be gathering “goods” at home they are willing to part with so they can barter to receive another classmate’s “goods.” The goods are due on Wednesday. Your child will also need to make a poster to advertise their wares. The poster, due on Thursday, will be part of a SS grade. The children will surely have an awesome time experiencing bartering first-hand!
Healthy Heart Day:We will be exchanging valentines on Thursday. If your child chooses to participate, he or she should provide a valentine for everyone in the class. A class list was sent home last Tuesday. For our Healthy Heart Celebration we will learn about the heart, have a yoga lesson as a class, and enjoy a heart healthy snack together!
