Week in pictures
What a busy week! Instead of writing about all of it, I thought you might like to see some pics from around the classroom instead :)
 |
| "I love you so much. UR mine. Yes you are." |
 |
| Officer Mike and Reilly- (just like in our reading group story "Officer Buckle and Gloria"!) |
 |
| All the kids got to pet the dog :) |
 |
| Playing candy heart pick-up with chop sticks at the Valentine party |
 |
| Singing the poems from our poetry folders- the kids loved turning the poems into songs :) These guys sang them each two times! |
 |
| The girls singing our poems to Meatball :) |
 |
| We've been working on fractions in our math journals |
 |
| We wrote couplets about our lives when we are 100 years old ( to celebrate the 100th day of school) |
 |
| One of the couplets that made me laugh. You can see all of them with our funny drawings if you come by our hallway and check our the bulletin board. |
It was a great week! The kids are learning so much at such a fast rate! I can barely keep up with them :) I am so impressed how quickly they were able to figure out some tricky concepts this week (fractions, median, mode, couplets, gravity- wow!!)
THANK YOU SO MUCH to all the wonderful parents who organized our party this week, sent in goodies, helped with homework, spelling tests, etc. I appreciate all of your support! You help make our school days go smoothly and your children to be successful :)
Have a great break!! Remember to check in the homework folder for homework, parent-teacher conference sign up sheets, and mystery reader sign up.

Friday, Feb. 11th
Today we used candy hearts to make sentences. Some of them were pretty funny coming from the mouths of babes "I love you, cupcake!" and some of them were just too "icky" for us to even think about using ("first kiss" yuck!). Over all it was a fun project and the kids loved it :) We also talked about elements of poetry and read some February poems and pointed out the rhyming, repittion and a "beat."
In math we made a graph from the data we collected about our arm span earlier in the week. We also made some fractions by shading shapes.
We have 3 kids who didn't bring a Valentine box in today- our party is MONDAY. Please send yours first thing so that your child can have a box for their cards.

Thursday, Feb. 10th
I came back today to a GREAT sub note :) The kids all gave me good reports and I had a lot of excellent completed work on my desk. I always worry when I have a sub and it is a good feeling to know that everything went smoothly.
Today we wrote a story with the title "The Magic medicine" to help us prepare for the GP writing assessment. The kids worked VERY HARD on this and did an excellent job :)
We also made "love bugs" and learned about adjectives by listing adjectives that were "fit for a lovebug." Actually making the bugs was a little something special we did as a reward for such great behavior yesterday.
In math we practiced median and mode and reviewed for our test TOMORROW! You cannot believe how easily the kids understand these seemily complicated concepts.
Reminder- VALENTINE BOX DUE TOMORROW!!! If you have an extra empty shoe box could you please send it in? I am collecting some extras for kids who don't show up with a valentine box tomorrow :) Thanks!
