How are you all enjoying this weather and the snow days? I can't believe we've had winter come to us all at once and we've had three snow days. It's been nice to be home but I'm ready to get back! Since we're home again today, I decided to write our classroom blog today.
Important information:
- Don't forget to have your child bring in their bag of 100 things and the clue sheet. Students love doing this activity!
- If your child is bringing in valentines to hand out, be sure there is one for every student and remember not to send in food with them.
- We will be celebrating the 100th Day of School AND Valentine's day tomorrow, Tuesday the 14th.
- Vacation is next week! I hope you all enjoy a wonderful and fun week.
- Later this week, I will be sending out a Sign Up Genius for Spring conferences which begin the second week of March. Again, these will be on the afternoons given to us and a few mornings before school begins. I will send an email with the link when ready.
3, 2, 1 things you should know about room 250 this week!
3 skills we'll be working on in math this week are making tally charts and bar graphs to represent the colors and numbers of conversation hearts we'll be counting on Tuesday, creating a time line to record our own birth years and those of our family members, and we'll use that time line to determine the ages of people in our family using subtraction and explain our thinking to a peer.
2 writing activities we will begin working on this week are using the Mexico non-fiction books to compile pages of information that will be useful in writing our own Mexico non-fiction, informational books. We'll also be deciding which topic we would like to research using the texts and various web resources, such as Pebble Go and Brainpop Jr.
1 skill we are working on is identifying a character's feelings and actions and how they relate to each other. Our friendship unit focuses a great deal on character's feelings and how that impacts in their actions.
