Happy Valentine's Day! It was nice to have a little bit of "normal" when celebrating Valentine's Day. We created heart bags that hung in front of each student's desk so no one was going in someone else's personal space. Thank you to every family for sending in Valentines and treats to make our celebration a success!
It was so nice to see so many families this week during Mid-Year Conferences. During a typical year I am able to get to know families a little easier because of classroom events where parents can volunteer. So, it was very nice to put a face to the emails I've been sending! If you didn't get a chance to chat with me, but you would like to, please reach out! We can find a time to chat about your child's growth. We started our opinion papers this week! What I've learned: there are some very big animal and video game lovers in this class! We should be wrapping up that project next week. Their pieces will be on the bulletin board for a little while, though. So you will have to wait and see what your student thinks about that important things in life, such as what is the best pet, video game, season, or even person! In math, we are starting to tackle word problems! We are going to introduce some new strategies to solve and understand all the different types of word problems. I promise - they won't be the complicated "Common Core" math strategies you read about on Facebook. We will also start to look at how you can show your thinking efficiently without writing a novel. Upcoming Events: 😎 February 15th: Presidents Day - We have school! 🌴 February 20th - 28th: February Vacation - Reach out if you have to quarantine because of travel, I can help plan ahead for work A Look Ahead: 🔢 In math, we start to look at different word problem strategies 🌎 In reading, we'll be looking at different cultures and comparing and contrasting them 👨⚖️ In social studies, we will look at our presidents! 💭 In writing, we will finish up our opinion papers
