Week 23



·       Congrats to Jose for earning our Organization Core Value Award! His work is always done with such pride. I am able to easily read his organized work, he puts things back where they belong, and is helpful when organizing class items. This skill is one that makes the days all the more efficient and smooth. Thank you Jose for being an organized role model!
·       Our Core Value for the month of February will be INTEGRITY.  We show actions of complete honesty even when no one else knows the truth but us.  This is a valuable trait that all children and adults should carry as we live and work together.  I hope to see a little integrity in us all this month!
·       I have sent out our conference schedule on Dojo. Please review, most are scheduled the same time as the fall conference. I look forward to seeing you all then as we talk about the progress made this year.
·       We will be exchanging Valentine cards. Students need to only fill out the “front” area of that Valentine.  There are 25 students in our class. Valentines will be delivered during our class party.  We could use Valentine stickers, doilies, and other items to decorate their bags that they will carry home their Valentines.  Please send in decorating items in by the 8th.
·       WOW! We had the impressive 92% spirit count average. This was great to see, thank you all for the Franklin pride!
·       The “What I Love About You” project hearts are being sent home today. I look forward to seeing all the love found within your family. Directions as well as the due date are attached to the paper hearts.
·       Looking for more wire hangers, please send in for our project in a few weeks!
·       HELP! Looking for Valentine party items and I would like to ask for your assistance as we prepare! Donations and signups will be due by February 8th so hop on before then and sign up to celebrate with up! There are still many needed items and volunteers.

A look at next week…
Spalding
We continue to work in our Spalding notebooks. As we write and mark we are working on letter formations as well as consistent handwriting, ensuring that our books are uniform and neat. Please be sure the books come to and from school daily. As we read and write in class we are taking the time to recognize and implement our phonograms.  Room 19 will be full of strong readers and writers by the year end!
Reading
Next week we will be reading an informational text as we focus on definition work, main idea and details, as well as hunting for facts.  Our informational text will be about insects. We might be seeing these creatures coming out as spring approaches.
Math
Creating and analyzing graphs has been fun! Our next unit will be measurement, next week specifically focusing on measuring using non-standard and standard units in inches and centimeters. 
Social Studies
Onto the next ancient studies unit of Mesopotamia.
Science
We have kicked off our ecosystems unit with the study of the desert this past week. We will be reading and writing about the forest habitat next.

Stay dry this weekend,
Ms. Reger
