Well finally Friday is here for us all. That means that Valentine's Day is that much closer. Thanks for all the help in planning things for Monday. It should be very fun. Again, there is no spelling packet for next week due to conferences and a short week. A flyer is coming home with information about Thursday being a Cobalt blue color shirt day if your child donates a dollar. The money will go to a former teacher who is in dire straights due to colon cancer. Specials for next week are:
Monday - pe
Tuesday - tech
Wednesday - art
Thursday - music
Friday - pe

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend,
Mrs. Rutter

Homework for math tonight is for students to cut out their triangle cards and practice them with an adult. Just cover one number and then show the card and they should be able to figure out what the number is. Reading is going well, I see the fluency increasing rapidly. Please keep practicing the decodables at home. Also, there will not be any spelling next week due to conferences. If you have not signed up for a conference time, please see me soon. Students are allowed to bring one stuffed animal to school tomorrow for our complements jar being filled.

Thanks and have a wonderful evening,
Mrs. Rutter

No math homework tonight because we finished yesterday's lesson today. Our class party will be Thursday at 1:45. The students are allowed to bring in one stuffed animal for the day. They did a great job filling their complements jar and also one the January lunch contest. Study spelling words and don't forget the packets are due on Thursday. Enjoy the snow but drive safe if you have to go anywhere.

Math homework is one sheet for 6-3. We are working on fact families. The students did really well with these today. We finished our list poems today in writing. Reading we are still in unit six and trudging along. Please have students study the spelling words and finish their packets. Book orders will be coming home this Friday and are due back by 2-28-11. Some Friday folders are not being brought back on a regular basis and need to come to school so papers do not get lost. It is going to be very cold tomorrow, so please dress your children appropriately.

Thanks,
Mrs. Rutter
