Our January calendar showed us several graphs and equations to go with them. Each graph started with a student survey.

 More measuring using an inchworm ruler.

Estimating and counting to 1000!

 We're trying lots of new skills during Reading Workshop. Each day we have a new mini-lesson.

We published our favorite poems!

Ellie's Exciting Share

In February we have a lot of exciting things happening. We are excited to go to the Flynn Theater on the 13th. That is also the 100th Day of School. Please help your child complete the 100 Day Bottle Project. We will also have a small Valentine's Day Party on the 14th. 

For Reading Workshop we are reading chapter books with our reading partners. Post-Its are used to keep track of important story events. In our Writing Workshop we are reviewing how to write Opinion letters about our favorite characters and books. Stay tuned - we will soon be blogging about our favorite Red Clover books. It is Kindness Month. We have been choosing an Act of Kindness from our basket each day and trying to spread kindness throughout the day.

If you haven't yet, please return your report card envelope and field trip permission slip. 

If any of you are considering a nanny/babysitter for the summer, my daughter Taylor is hoping to do that while she is home from college. Just let me know. Thanks
