       No school on Friday, Feb 3!!!  Enjoy your 3 day weekend!

        We have learned lots about magnets!  We have investigated to see what they are attracted to and what they are not attracted to.  Jeb's grandpa sent us in a box full of items to explore with and we have had fun with it.  Ask your child to share with you what they have learned about magnets.

We are learning to estimate and measure in inches and centimeters in math.  We have rulers to use here at school and your child will need to have a ruler with inches and centimeters for measuring on their homework.  I have had them put a paper ruler in the back pocket of their homework folder that they can use if you do not have one at home.   Here is a link to print out some different paper rulers.

Spelling words for next week:
barge   charge   large   page   stage   plump   thumb   drew   due   true   than   other   new   into
