Happy Friday!

What another fun week we have had in room #14! The students have been reading, writing, and counting. We even had a chance to learn about coding with Ms. Capano. Take a look at all of the fun and learning that is going on in our classroom.

This week we enjoyed listening to stories by Kevin Henkes. We worked really hard on explaining: Who were the important characters in the story? Where/When was the setting?  What was the problem? How did they solve it? We also worked on the digraph wh. We practiced finding sight words: got, and into. In math this week, we worked on counting backwards from 10 to 0. In science, we enjoyed learning and discussing the three stages of matter. We even had soda floats for Fun Friday as a way to review the three phases of matter. The students loved making and eating these soda floats. A big thank you to Mr. Bond who was able to come and help us with our soda floats. Also, thanks to all of the parents who were able to send in supplies for our soda floats.

Happy Friday! What a fun and exciting week we have had this week. The students enjoyed celebrating the 100th day of school on Thursday. Thanks for sending in your child’s 100 collection. I enjoyed seeing the children in their costumes for our  celebration as well. The students had fun visiting the fourth grade’s African American Wax Museum on Thursday as well.

We also had a fun day on Friday with our Fun Friday snowmen that we made and our  Valentine’s Day party. Thanks so much for all of the parents, grandparents, and volunteers who showed up to help us out. Also, a big thank you for all of the cards, candy, and gifts that I received today for Valentine’s Day. I really felt loved by you all! Thanks again for your kindness!

Thanks so much for being understanding about parent/teacher conferences having to be canceled due to my sickness. I am planning to have conferences next Thursday, February 13th at our same scheduled time slots.
