We had an awesome day!!!
Our day started with a letter Hh activity, followed by reading groups. During groups, students worked on assessments, iPads, letter Hh, blending, handwriting, and listening. After groups, we went outside for recess. When recess was over, we worked on our informational writing. We reviewed what informational writing is, how we write the facts, and how we use the graphic organizer. We then transferred our facts about cats to our final draft paper. When we were done with writing, we made our Hh craft for the week.
Our afternoon was filled with lunch, recess, PE, snack and show & share, music, quiet time, and free choice.

- I've attached the Valentine's Day list (I'll send home a hard copy next week), if your child would like to get a start on things!
Please also help your child make a Valentine's box at home and send to school on 2/12. *Note: Target has some little kits you can buy that are cute and easy!
