Week ending 2/15

Can you believe we've made it to break?  It's been a busy two weeks in our room!  We've celebrated the 100th day of school, Valentine's day, met with buddies, and much more!

Important information:

• Conferences will be scheduled the last two weeks of March.  Be on the lookout after break for a conference sign up.  
• Be sure to send in extra clothes, snow pants, boots, etc for snowy days for outdoor recess.  

3, 2, 1 things we've done in room 250? 

• We've been working on graphing and bar graphs in math.  3 things we've looked at as a class was  who was wearing long sleeves, sweatshirts, or sweaters, who was wearing boots versus no boots, and who had short sleeves versus long sleeves.  You'd be amazed at what we've learned about each other!  We also did some sorting with Yekttis! *Ask your child about Yekktis and possible ways to sort them.

•  2 writing projects we started working on were reading through books and marking important sections with post-it notes on various topics regarding Mexico and then beginning the note taking process using those books. 
• 1 read aloud we began this week is Ivy and Bean.  It's a funny book about Ivy and Bean who develop the most unlikely friendship.  We'll use this book to delve deeper into character traits and comparing the text characters' friendships to our our own friendships.
