We had a very patriotic week! It was great! Everyone had awesome projects! I loved seeing their presentations. We even had costumes! The students posters and projects were so creative! We learned about many great people this week!

Thank you to Rachel's mom for helping in Math Centers.
Thank you to Adelaide's mom for helping in Literacy Centers and being a Mystery Reader.
Thank you to Analice's mom for being a Mystery Reader.
I love parent volunteers! :)

Luke was chosen for student of the week. He has Max the Moose for the weekend! Enjoy!

Just a reminder: Next week is our OPEN HOUSE at the new school- save the date: Thursday, March 1st from 5:00-6:00. I can't wait for the students to see it!

My moving plans are tentative, but I am planning on moving all my boxes to the new school on Thursday, March 22 after school. If you are available after school on that Thursday, please let me know.  I welcome all helping hands!

We are publishing a book! I sent the form home yesterday for purchasing the book. We are working really hard and it's going to be great! Please send the form back on Monday, if you are interested in purchasing the book.

Academic Update:
Literacy: We finished up our "Wheels go Around" unit. We are really working on our writing right now, using uppercase letters at the beginning of a sentence, all lowercase letters in the sentence and punctuation at the end. Please practice this in your writing at home. Please continue reading and working on the sight words in the folder every night.
Math: We are in full swing of our measurement unit and loving it!
Science: Matching animals to their parents.
Social Studies: We talked all about Presidents and Black History this week. We also continued talking about American Symbols.

Have a great weekend!
