Word Work: Our class will continue to learn about the /oo/ syllable pattern for the next two weeks. Our syllable pattern makes the sound as in blue, moon, youth.    Students should read their word lists, discuss the meaning of the words, and practice spelling words with similar syllable patterns.  Spelling City is ready for students to access the practice list for the week. 

Khan Mappers and Prodigy: We have begun working with two new math programs. First is Khan Mappers. In this area of the Khan program, the students are given problems around their NWEA math scores. I like this for an additional practice as the math problems look like the NWEA and are tailored to the individual needs of each student. It is a neat program that I have been using for about 4-5 years. The 2nd program is Prodigy. Of course the students like this program better because it resembles a video game and the questions are presented in a fun way. My hope with both of these is to offer additional differentiated math practice. Let me know if you have any questions.

Valentine’s Day Notice From Mr. Hubble: February 14 is quickly approaching and of course, things this year will continue to be a little different.  Our plan is to hold off on the candy and packaged Valentines, and below are details for the week.

During the week of February 14 - 17, our Positivity Project (P2) activities will be focused on "Love."  Love means that you value close relationships with others and being close to people. The character strength of love represents the way we think, feel, and behave towards the people with whom we have close relationships. 

Classes will have activities and lessons in their morning meetings that will take the place of the traditional card exchange and parties.  No need to send anything in from home, we will handle it all in-house.

If you want to look ahead at family activities and connections for that week, remember you can access the P2 for Families at https://posproject.org/p2-for-families/  The password is P2.
