Week 22

 Dear Parents,

       This week in math we had a set of numbers that went up in a pattern. It was our job to figure out the pattern. Was it plus 10 or plus 100? Some were plus 20 or plus 30. They were very good number detectives as we figured out the rule the person used to make the list of numbers. We reviewed on Tuesday and had our assessment on Wednesday. They did very well over all. On Thursday we had many 1ooth day of school math activities for learning and fun! Thank you to the nine parents who sent in their snack items so that we could create our 100 piece snack. We will have lots of left overs that can be bagged up and put in our snack tub.

       In writing this week we continued to work on our poetry unit. For 100th day we read a poem that had 100 words! On the 100th day of school we aged ourselves with an app and wrote about if we were 100 years old.

       In reading/social studies we made a compass rose, Read a scholastic news article called the Snow Man. We took a comprehension check on Tuesday and Listened to the story- Snowflake Bentley on Wednesday. We made snowflakes using Marshmallows and toothpicks. We also filled out a graphic organizer about our snowflake. We saw a video about how a snowflake was formed. We also created a work of art out of the digits in 100.

        In science we started our weather unit. We learned about what causes wind and how to read a wind vane. We learned about temperature and how to read a thermometer. We made the weather tools and put them in a pocket in our science notebook.  We read an article and did a talk-read-talk-write activity. We learned about precipitation and used a sponge to fill a rain gauge. We talked about our seasons, made a season box and discussed clothes we would wear during each season.

 

*Dear Parents,

                Mark your calendars for Friday, February 9th – CRE and PTA are hosting our annual Valentine Dance from 6:30-8:30.  More information will come home next week.❤️

 

Thank you so much,

Randie and Tiffany
