Week Ending 1/31

We're moving on to February!  Seems like January was a long month but we accomplished SO much!

Important information:

• Thursday, February 6, is an early release day with dismissal at 12:30.  
• February vacation is the week of February 17th.  
• If you have any wipes, tissues, or paper towels you'd like to donate, please send them our way!

3, 2, 1 things we've worked on this past week...

3 math activities we worked on were creating bar graphs to show what we learned about our classmates, sort information about our favorite weekend activities to organize and represent the data clearly to others, and we investigated line plots.  This coming week, we'll collect data about how many teeth we've lost and decide with our group how we should show the data and what we've learned.  

2 read aloud we read were A Story, A Story and Anansi & the Talking Melon.  We finished up our trickster tale unit by reading trickster tales and identifying who the trickster was, the problem and solution of the stories, and more importantly, characteristics of the trickster.    

1 writing workshop piece we're working on is our writing about Mexico.  Students have chosen three topics to research and write the most important facts and ideas they've learned.  Right now we're still in the early stages, but I hope to have them ready for you by conferences!
