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!

This week we enjoyed listening to fictional stories about Valentine’s Day. We worked really hard on explaining: How can we make a connection with this story? How can I connect it with myself?  Does it remind me of something that has happened to me? We reviewed digraphs sh and ch. We practiced finding sight words: when, come. Math this week, we counted by 10’s to 100. Social Studies, we enjoyed learning about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

Please enjoy these pictures from our week:
