Class Updates:
Our class had a great Valentine's Day celebration! The students decorated bags to collect their Valentines in, and they enjoyed passing out cards to their classmates.
The children made Valentine's Day fortune tellers and had so much fun at our party! Thank you to all of the parent volunteers who helped plan and run the party.
In math, we will be continuing to learn about money. We will focus on lessons 4 and 5 this week, as well as spend extra time practicing counting collections of coins and answering word problems with money. Students can continue to practice at home by identifying and counting coins around the house!
In reading, Mrs. Robb read the students a fun Valentine's Day story! We will continue to work on cause and effect in both fiction and non-fiction books this week.
Students have selected their topics for their final informational books in writing. Each child picked a topic related to movement. They will not only teach all about it, but also incorporate science words and understandings from our forces and motion unit. Students are working on their planning graphic organizers and will begin drafting this week.
In social studies, the children have learned what a region is in the United States. We have started with the Pacific Northwest region of Native Americans. The children learned that cedar trees were very important to these tribes for shelter, making tools, totem poles, and even for making clothing! The children are making lap books to record what they have learned. Look next week for pictures of the lap books!
