Week of 2/2/15

What a crazy two weeks it's been!  I know all the students love the snow and being home but I also know we all love summer!  Hopefully, not too many more days are used and we can continue with the learning we're going without many more interruptions!

This blog is short this week with just a few updates…

• Secret Pal is due next Wednesday.  Please be sure to have you child bring it in by then, if not before, and I will collect them.  
• Right now our 100th day of school is next Thursday, the 12th.  There will be a notice going home  next week about dressing as if you're 100 years old and finding 100 small objects…start thinking about it this weekend and more info will be sent home next week.
• We will be doing valentines in our room on the 13th, next Friday.  There is a notice going home today as well as a class list.  Be be sure that if you are sending in valentines that every student will receive one (we have 18) and that there is no food.  If valentines are brought in with food, I'll have to send them back home.  If you choose to send in something...little erasers, pencils, temporary tattoos are always big hits, but you definitely do not have to send in anything.   Home made valentines are just perfect!  
• School vacation is the week of the 16th.  
• Please be sure to send your child in with everything they need to go out if they are planning on it.  

We finished up our unit on Mexico and we wanted to share our final project.  

We made a book…called Mexico ABC Book.  We used a program called VoiceThread to record our voices to match the pictures.  We hope you enjoy it!

Have a great weekend!
