Week of February 2

Happy Groundhog Day! On Monday, we will learn about the legend of Punxsatawny Phil and make our own groundhogs. This week, we will spend a lot of time researching arctic animals. Each student will write his/her own animal report and share it with the class. We will begin Unit 6 in math, which focuses on addition and subtraction facts. Remember to practice these at home. We need to be able to solve addition and subtraction facts up to 18 quickly to be ready for second grade.
