Can you believe tomorrow is February? This month sailed by! One thing that always makes time go quickly is being super engaged in learning and projects, like our PBL. The Fox Kits have done amazing learning about sound and how it's produced. They have designed and built their own instruments. They have practiced performing a song as a band. Now all that's left is for you to join us to see and hear their hard work! Please come to room 25 on Monday February 3rd (right after the weekend) at 2:15. We are excited to share our music with you!
This week we ended our second number sense math unit and began our measurement unit! Next week I will be assessing students one-on-one in reading using the Fountas and Pinnell leveling system. This helps to make sure all students are receiving instruction at their just right level. We are also getting into the swing of things in our non-fiction writing unit. Most students are working on writing their
second book teaching the readers about something they know a lot about.
We read 2 books about animals this week: Animal Adapatations and Spikes, Scales and Armor. Both books teach about special things about animals that help them to survive. We noticed humans mimicking some of these things to help them in daily life too.
Last week I sent home a note and class list for valentine's day. If your child would like to bring valentines in please make sure there is one for every child in the class. There is no obligation to bring anything. We will all celebrate together the afternoon of February 14th.
We dumped our hearts on Tuesday, had an All School Morning Meeting on Thursday, and had a costume day celebration on Friday! It was a pretty fun week!
