TEACHER'S MESSAGE:
Great assembly on Wednesday! I think everyone in the school was reminded how we can be healthy! We will be writing some health goals.
Our next Moving and Munching is Friday, Feb. 28 - MARK YOUR CALENDARS!! We will feature these favorite songs - Ryan's Pressure Off, Matthew's Gotta Catch 'Em All and Teddy's We Will Rock You. Sounds like a blast - JOIN US!
Just a heads-up for an upcoming Field Trip. On Feb. 18 - 20, we will leave the school at 12:30 and skate from 12:45 to 2:00. Your child will need to be ready with skates and a winter or skiing or hockey helmet NOT A BIKE HELMET. All volunteers are expected to wear a helmet too if they are on the ice. WE NEED 4-5 VOLUNTEERS EACH TIME WE SKATE. A FIELD TRIP FORM WILL GO HOME NEXT WEEK. IF YOU CAN VOLUNTEER, PLEASE FILL IN THE BOTTOM SECTION OF THE COVER LETTER.
We are back to Gymnastics next week. Please make sure your child is dressing for Gymnastics every day. Please wear comfortable clothes, hair tied back, no dangling jewelry, no hoodies, no long pants or long sleeves and girls if you wear a dress/skirt wear pants under your dress/skirt.
Read your child's T.W.A.S. journal every weekend. Please read the note on the front of the journal. thanks
This week we saw a performance about Rodents. Ask your child what they learned. Also ask your child about the Rocks and Rings we had in Gym on Tuesday.

T.W.A.S. (This Week At School)
This journal will come home every Friday. Please take the time to let your child read their T.W.A.S. written work. Parents are encouraged to print a reply to their child’s written work.
OPTIONAL HOMEWORK – Students can write about their weekend. Students will be asked if they would like to share their weekend journal work in class on Monday. RETURN THIS BOOK EVERY MONDAY.

MATH:
We have reviewed the concepts numbers that come 'after' and 'before' a number (up to 10 only). Please print a number line at home (1 - 10). Adult can choose a number from the line and ask your child what comes before and after. As well, we are working on counting on from 5. You can play the 'finger' game. One at a time, put up five fingers, then show another amount of fingers in the other hand. The partner then needs to say the total amount of fingers. This week we also covered the concept of 'how many more'. For example, line up two groups of blocks (one bigger than other). Have kids 'pair up' and then determine which has more (and tell how many more - the ones with no 'partners').
OPTIONAL HOMEWORK - Practice counting by 1's, 5's and 10's to 100. Practice counting by 2's to 20. Identify any number from 1-100 (especially confident with 1-20 - the teen numbers can be tricky). Be confident with identifying a number and being able to tell what is one/two more and one/two less.
SCIENCE/SOCIAL STUDIES:
This week we worked on Sense of Hearing and learned about how our ear hears sounds using the three parts of the ear (see video below). PLEASE ask your child why it is important to protect your ears and how you could do that.
We also reviewed how some animals senses. See video link.
OPTIONAL HOMEWORK - With adult support, try experiments at home. Here is a video to support you - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lpev_Raequo. Here are some resources - http://www.learnplayimagine.com/2013/01/12-games-and-activities-to-teach.html
GYM:
This week we took a little break from Gymnastics but will resume next week.
