Happy Snow Day - this will move our 100th Day celebration to Friday. We will also have a small party on Valentine's Day next Wednesday. Please do not attach candy/food to the Valentines.  If your child would like to add a little something to their Valentine, they may add a non-edible item such as a pencil, tattoo, sticker, etc. Thank you. Please continue to send Home-School folders back to school as soon as possible each time they are sent home. We also reuse the report card envelopes. If you still have them please return them to school. We have earned another classroom celebration for earning pennies. On the Friday prior to our February vacation, we will watch a movie and have popsicles. Please let me know if you would like to donate popsicles/italian ice for that day. I may also show the Mr. Popper's Penguins movie. We finished reading the book a few weeks ago. 

We are part of a BOX-TOP competition. If you have extra Box-Tops please send them in. They are on many different types of boxed foods and soups. 

Here are a few kiddos with their Shares.

Our class read the book Over and Under the Snow. 

We are creating winter scenes and putting animals over and under the snow.

Our Opinion Writing Unit has begun. 

First we investigated beach items.                            

 

Now we are choosing our favorite dragons. These dragons have many great details. We will write opinion papers about our favorites. Ask your child about their's. 

Here are photos from my WIN group. Students are mixed from both classes.
