HI!

 Our first rotation of our STEAM activities was a huge success!  The class was super excited to begin these rotations. We had  some help from 5th grade friends and it went really well.  Don't forget to ask your child how it went!

Here is our week of learning at a glance:

 

Reading Workshop-This week we will continue our unit on fairy tales.  We will look at elements of fairy tales and compare and contrast different versions of various fairy tales.  

 

Writing Workshop-    We will work on writing our very own fairy tale this week!  We are going to take this piece of writing through the writing process so we will work on this for the next couple of weeks. 

Science/ Social Studies- We will continue our unit on weather.  After today's STEAM  rotations, we are in need of shaving cream (some of our clouds were QUITE LARGE), blue food coloring, and water color paint sets. THANKS for your help.    

Math-   We will begin our unit on time.  We will focus on time to the hour and half hour next week.  If your child has an analog watch at home, please have them wear it as much as possible.  You could ask them the time randomly during the day so they can become experts on telling time.  

Important News:  Our Valentine's Day Party will be Tuesday, February 14 at 1:30.  You will not need to purchase any boxes or containers.  We will make bags in class. 

Class Brighteners-  Chelsea is our Star Student this week!  Congratulations Chelsea!   I want to congratulate  Tori for earning the title of V.I.P! This week we were looking for friends who "Honor themselves and others"!  Way to go Tori!  We also want to wish Madison a very Happy Birthday!   We hope your day was special!  Congratulations to Evin  who lost a tooth this week!

Have a great weekend!
