January 21st - January 25th


What We're Working on This Week

Language Arts

We will continue to use our  personal writing checklists that we glue in our journal each day! After writing in our journal we complete the checklists so that we are sure we have done everything we needed to do! We added a journal entry to SeeSaw this week so you can see how far we have come! We will keep adding more entries so you can see our growth and progress! 


.


We will also begin our next reading unit called
Bigger Books:  Bigger Reading Muscles! 

We will keep practicing our reading strategies and super powers during readers workshop and on Razz Kids too!  



Social Studies

This week we will continue our unit in Social Studies that focuses on Cultures, Traditions, and Celebrations: How we Live and Celebrate!
We will continue to learn about Martin Luther King Junior and
why we celebrate him in January each year! 



Math

Now that we are experts at reading, writing, and representing our teen numbers, we will be ordering and comparing them! This means being able to tell which number is greater or less, plus being able to put them in order correctly.
 These are a few of the fun songs we sing in class if you would like to sing them at home! (We especially love counting to 100!)




Science

This week, we will be geologists as we continue to study all about rocks! We will learn about how we can sort rocks according to their physical properties (size, shape, color, texture, and weight). We will also learn about how rocks are a natural resource we use every day! 



Terrific Tiny Texans:

Due to it being a short week, we will wait to have more Terrific Tiny Texans! Check back soon!

100th Day of School

Monday, January 28th, we will be celebrating the 100th day of school! We will have several fun 100th Day stations all day long- and even a special 100th day snack! We are asking that each kindergartner bring in their own collection of 100 to share on our Wall of 100. Notes about this went home earlier in the week, so please e-mail your child's teacher if you need one.

Please return the collections on or before Monday January 28th! 

Also, your child is welcome to wear any special 100th Day shirts or hats! 

Yearbook

It's that time of year to purchase a yearbook for your child. Yearbook cost was not part of the Trailpass this year, so the only way to purchase is through balfour.com at a cost of $25.

You can also purchase an ad to appear in the yearbook to make this year extra special. Optional ads come in multiple sizes ranging from $15-$120.

We sold out last couple of years, so don't miss out! Yearbook sales end January 18, 2019.

We will have our annual Lewisville Spring Creek Barbecue Spirit Night Monday, January 28th from 5-9PM. Come join us for fabulous food and socializing with all your favorite TCE friends and teachers. Spring Creek will donate 20% of all the evening's proceeds to our school. Also, the class with the best attendance will win a special prize!
