Happy January!

January is always the month of new…which is an exciting time! I am excited to see all that will happen in the year of 2016! As we start in January, we will begin studying the Solar System, which is always the students’ favorites! It is always fun to study the big picture of our solar system and to read about all the differences from the planets and Earth. We will begin to make our own informative book about our Solar System and study more closely on the Sun, Earth and Moon qualities. That is why your son and/or daughter brought home a worksheet to record the moon phases so that we can be active explorers of our own Solar System. We are also beginning our new unit in Math class to learn how to add and subtract within 1000, which the students are very excited about! With that being said, our students are becoming very proficient in adding within 100 and solving word problems, so feel free to have your child count up coins to pay a small grocery bill or make a flashcard game with addition and subtraction fluency.

As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me! Thanks for all that you do for your child!    I greatly appreciate it!

Mrs. Hoffsmith
