This week we participated in our annual JDRF walk. Our school was able to raise over $1500 for juvenile diabetes. That's amazing. We had a great time listening to music while exercising our bodies.
Our essential question this week was "How are offspring like their parents?" We read several stories about animals and their offspring. Of course, my favorite was the story about the gorillas and their babies. We read about elephants, penguins, eagles, wolves and bears. The students were enthusiastic while learning some interesting information.
We took another math fact timed test. Every student improved their scores from September. Great job, class!! These will be coming home next week to be signed although many of you will be seeing them at conference.
We read a book about the girl who saved Thanksgiving. Then we created "Thankful Trees." The students drew trees and wrote on the leaves things they are thankful for. They are displayed in the hall for you to see when you come in for your conference.
Speaking of conference...I look forward to seeing all of you and discussing your child's academic progress.
Have a great weekend.
