This week in Room 2

Here are a few highlights of the week...

On Friday we will be celebrating Valentine's Day from 9:30 to 11:00.  Many thanks to Marni for her help with this.  Don't forget -- No candy!!!!

We had a visit from Julie Schmidt, an education student from Marylhurst, today.  She observed a math lesson and then played her fiddle for the class.

There is no school Monday due to the President's Day holiday.  There is a late start Wednesday the 18th.  Everything will be two hours behind schedule.

Here are a few themes for the week:

Theme Book: My Lucky Day
Chapter Book: Elmer and the Dragon
New letter: Ll
New words: do, are, that (week 2)
Comprehension skill: Cause and Effect
Writing: Valentine's Day words, details
Math: Numbers to 20, counting by 10's and 1's, addition, subitization
Social Studies: Presidents with Ms. Milkovic
New Song:Goodbye Old Paint
Star of the Week: Jake

Education-speak word of the week: subitization -- to instantly glace at a group of objects and perceive how many there are without counting.  Adults roll a dice and subitize the number rolled.  In kindergarten we use ten-frames, dice and dominoes to work on this skill.
