WEEKLY LETTER
Hello!
I think I got it figured out why some of you were not getting these emails. However I am not sure how it happened. Hahaha
Next week is a short week so I am not sure there will be an email but I will see. I am leaving for a short trip early early Thursday. I will be back on Monday though so I will not
miss any days. :).
Science: The kids took the Water Cycle test this week. They did awesome!! Monday some of the kids will be presenting their Water Cycle projects. They are due on Wednesday. Some will be presenting on Tuesday, and then the rest on Wednesday. States of Matter will be next. They will definitely need to study a few days for this test. It will be more difficult than the Water Cycle.
On Wednesday we will have our Valentines party and we will be playing bingo with our first grade book buddies.
The kids want to finish our movie that we didn’t at Christmas time. Hahaha. Lion King. So we will also be doing that.
Reading: We did another Scholastic News this week and next week I am going to introduce them to Greek Mythology. We will be researching some Greek Gods and monsters and then we will start reading Percy Jackson.
NO SPELLING NEXT WEEK
Math: We are continuing with multiplication. I told the kids to play the game from last week only use a 3 digit by 1 digit and go to 3,000 points. This will really help them with the test coming up. Also the ones that are still trying to pass division need to really start hitting it hard so they can be ready for long division. PLEASE HELP THEM OR ENCOURAGE THEM TO PRACTICE. THANK YOU
That is pretty much it in a nutshell. Have a super weekend!! Stay warm.

I will be asking the families that I see next week at conferences if you want me to put these notes on the Weebly site or if you like getting it by email. I have some that said they don’t check their emails, so am wondering if the Weebly would be any better.
https://pfeffer4.weebly.com Here it is. It also has great review ideas for each subject and games for math to play.
