Week of 1/22

Dear Families,
The students are doing such a great job telling time to the minute and determining elapsed time! Please continue to support them at home by having them practice on an analog clock and giving them situations to determine how much time has passed.
Parent Teacher Conferences for the second semester have been scheduled for Thursday, February 7. If evening conferences do not work with your schedule I will also be available to meet with you on Monday, January 28 from 10 am to 1 pm. Please email me at jahufnell@henrico.k12.va.us or call 261-5060 to schedule a conference on this day. If February 7 works for you click on this link to my signup genius page. Thank you!
Next week will be a very busy one for our students! We will be reviewing comparing and contrasting fairy tales and characters in Reading. In writing the students will review contractions and possessive nouns. In Math we demonstrate fact fluency for multiplication facts 0, 1, 2, 5, and 10. We will also practice equality and balancing equations. On Thursday, January 24 the students will take a power test assessment in Math. In Social Studies we will finish our unit on Mali with a test on Wednesday, January 23. This is a paper pencil assessment. In Science we will review animal and plant life cycles.
On Friday, January 25 we will celebrate PAW achievement by going to Hermitage High School to participate in a STEM activity. To earn this special trip each student must have 7 or fewer marks on their weekly behavior sheets, no school behavior communicators, and no bus referrals. Permission slips will come home on Tuesday for qualifying students. Please sign and return by Friday. I would live some volunteers if you would like to attend with your child!!
