Happy snow day 1st graders...

It's my favorite kind of weather today and the weather forecasters say there is more on the way. How much snow has fallen at your house? Measure it and comment below. Here is what I measured at my house. 

February 24, 2015 10:00 am  1/2 inch

February 24, 2015 1:00 pm 1 inch

Stay tuned. I'll be doing some more measuring as more snow falls. The forecasters say we could get 3 to 6 inches. What do you think? 

Happy Valentines Day and Happy Track Out...

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines Day and a great track out. This track out your child brought home a math packet they can do if they want. It is 100% optional but I would recommend picking and choosing activities that may have shown up on the interim of areas to continue working on. It has:

• Attribute shape cards so they can teach you how to make Attribute Trains.
• Shapes to cut out to create other shapes by solving questions.
• Some word problems to solve.
• One sheet working on doubles. Doubles is new learning for us so check out the video tab on our blog so your child can sing our Doubles songs and become fluent with them. 

Over track out your child has been given a challenge. When we return we want every student to be a Shoe Tying Super Hero. Here is a great video that shows an easy way to teach your child to tie their shoes. 

How to learn to tie your shoes in 5 quick minutes!


Of course be sure to read each day and don't forget to visit the links on our blog. Lexia is a great thing to keep your child doing over track out. Big Universe had tons of online books for your child to read on tons of topics. Pebble Go has great nonfiction choices. 

Have a great track out and see you in 3 weeks! 

Look at these SUPER, AWESOME and AMAZING Geo-Animals!!!!
