Hello Everyone!
I hope you have all had a great weekend!!
Don’t forget that our Spring Auction is just around the corner on Saturday March 7th. Each student is asked to raise $67.00 dollars on or before March 2nd. If all the students in the class raise the $67.00 we will get a week’s worth of dress down days in May. The first class to have everyone reach the $67.00 goal by March 2nd wins a pizza party. We have 4 students who have reached this goal. We can do THIS!!!!!!!!!

Spelling: Our spelling words this week have the class working with the /O/ sound spelled aw or o in words like crawl – aw and cost – o.
Phonics: The class will be working with suffixes and endings as they add them to base words that have an -e at the end. They will be learning that if the word ends with an -e they have to drop the -e and add one of these suffixes or endings: -ing, -er, -est, -ed. We will also be working to learn how the suffixes -ful, -ly, -ness, -less, and -y when added to the end of words changes the meaning of the words. Suffixes are: -ful = ful of. -ly = in a certain way. -less = without. -ness = being. -y = having.
