Welcome to Miss Kohler's class blog! Here, I will keep you (the parents) informed about what your children are doing in class, upcoming events and exciting news affecting your child's school life. I will also keep an updated list of links related to what we are learning on the right hand side of this page. The games are simply for extra practice, so if your child does not use the computer, don't fret! They are not required to play the games. I have disabled blog comments for privacy reasons. If you would like to contact me, please email me at rebecca.kohler@ymail.com. I hope to update the blog at least once a week.
Thanks!

Week of February 8th

Hello! Here are some news and events for this week.

We will be stretching out the Language Arts lesson for the next two weeks, so our spelling pretest will be a week from Wednesday and the reading and spelling tests will be that Friday.

This Thursday, we will be having Valentine's Day activities. I encourage students to bring Valentine's cards for each other. You can use store-bought cards or your child can make his or her own out of construction paper. If your child brings cards, please remember to have one for all the children in the class so that no one feels left out. Thanks!

These are the topics students will be studying during the next two weeks.
Language Arts:
Long a Words (like "play" and "rain")
Describing Words (we usually call these "adjectives")
Writing a Description
Cause and Effect

Math:
Continued Practice with Addition and Subtraction
Reading Graphs
Congruent Shapes

Social Studies:
Abraham Lincoln's Life and Good Deeds (in honor of his birthday on Friday, February 12)
Lifeskills (Integrity, Courage, Perseverance and Responsibility)
--For a complete list and explanation of the lifeskills, go here. (This is not our Mrs. Jones's site.)

Science:
Learning About Land, Water, and Earth

I will keep the blog updated with important dates and games relevant to what the students are learning. Be sure to check back every few days to see updates and class news! As always, email me if you have questions or comments at rkohle00@pnc.edu.

Thanks!
