Peek at the Week:
Want to hear about our week? Ask your child the following questions:
Math:
- Can you solve these problems using a number line?
Reading:
- Can you read the following sight words?
- What are open and closed syllables? How do they change how vowels are read?
- What do you remember about these vocabulary words?
Writing:
We read the SILLY book Wait and See to help us get writing ideas for writing about a big wish!
- What did you wish for, and what would happen if you got TOOOOO much of what you wished for?
PARENT VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES:
Dodge Nature Center Chaperone:
We will be traveling to Dodge Nature Center on February 8th from 9:00-10:30. We will be learning about animal tracks to kick off our animal research unit in writing! Please let me know if you are interested in chaperoning this trip. Thank you!

Reading Volunteers: You're invited!
Who: Friends and Family of our Somerset Stars
What: We are looking for helpers that are willing to meet with students one-on-one on the following categories:
- Sight word practice
- CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant words, such at cat, hop, him)
- Sentence fluency
Volunteers will be given an easy to follow binder with all materials and directions so they can hit the ground running with students! The expectation would be to meet with each child for approximately 5-10 minutes, for as long as you are able. It is a "come when you can, leave when you want" gig!
When: We are looking for volunteers Monday-Friday from 10:00-11:00 a.m. (You choose the dates that work for you and the length of time you can stay within the given time frame.) I just chose the most consistent window of time within our schedule, but if you are interested in a different time of day, just let me know and I would be happy to figure something out!
THINGS TO KNOW:
The Project Fair is coming!
Mark your calendars and get your curiosity flowing - the Somerset Project Fair and STEM night is coming on Thursday, February 2nd, 2023 from 6-8pm!
This fun evening for kids of all grades and families will be a mix of hands-on STEM activities and the chance to display a project that YOU make. Projects can be about anything that gets you interested or excited: a science topic, a hobby, or an answer to a question you’ve always wanted to know.
You are welcome to attend and have fun whether you choose to make a project or not!
ACTION: If you want to participate with a project, please sign up here.
Library Books:
We have library time every Tuesday morning. Please help remind your child to return their books on Tuesday (or any day prior!) so they are ready to check-out books.
Snacks:
Please remember to send your child with a snack each day. We do have some extras for those rushed mornings. We are always happy to take donations for extra snacks if you are able. Thank you!
