This week it was snowy! On Tuesday, we took a short walk in the snow. We learned more about shadows by building things and shining a flashlight on them. We read some books about snow. We read Fire Race and learned some interesting words: trudged, swift, charred, crept, and brambles. I hope you had fun in the snow!
Can we tell you about our week? We had art day on Thursday because we filled up the marble jar. We got to do whatever art we wanted. It was the 100th day of school on Tuesday. We made headbands. We also made a chart about ways to divide 100 things. We read The Waterfall by Jonathan London. In Science, we learned about shadows and light. You need a light and something to block the light. In math, we learned how to use number lines to add. January is almost done. I can’t wait for another month. Phoenix had a birthday this week. We will have the 100 Book Club celebration soon. We started taking A.R. tests this week. I can’t wait for another week to come.
This was a great week! We went to Ms. Duncan’s room for Book Buddies. We learned about opinion writing. First you tell your topic, then you tell your opinion. Next, you give your reasons. Finally, you write a good ending. Our class wrote a story about dogs being the best pets. Our school is doing a new thing called “Caught You Being Good”. Teachers give blue slips to you if you’re being good in the hallway. We are working on a project for the 100th day of school. In science we’re learning about low volume and high volume. Also, we’re learning about low pitch and high pitch sounds. Tyler’s birthday was this week. In math, we learned about vertical addition. We learned that the sum is the answer when you add. We learned that the zero property means that a number plus a zero always equals the same number. The commutative property means that an addition sentence can be switched around, and it will still equal the same number. We had an awesome week!
Today is going to be a great day. Alexandria is seven today! Today we visited the Book Buddies’ room instead of them coming to our room. We have a new author this month…Jonathan London. His Froggy books are so fun and awesome. Jordyn was picked to bring Froggy home this week. On Wednesday we saw a puppet show about bus safety. Laura said her mom told her that the bus safety performers liked how she did the lasso part. In science we are learning about sound. We have a new treasure box that looks like a pirate’s treasure chest. We hope you have a great weekend. Happy Friday!
It has been a long time since we were in school. The break was cold! We had a fun party. We made mugs and Rudolph donuts. We dressed up like Rudolph with red noses that light up! Before we had the party, we went to the cafeteria to ride on the Polar Express. We saw a short movie. We wore pajamas, ate cookies, and drank hot chocolate. We got some bells from the North Pole. They were freezing! We traded books with our friends. When we were at school last year, it was awesome!
