Mosaic of My Heart

This week in celebration of Valentine's Day, the students made mosaic hearts.  Inside the hearts, they wrote special things that they love on some of the red pieces.  Then they wrote about why those things are special to them.  


This week in math we once again focused on addition and subtraction skills.  We played some basketball addition and also a game called Hit the Target.  Remember, keep practicing those facts at home!!

We did some review in reading this week and took a Unit Assessment test.  This test took place over two days.  The students were asked to read passages and then answer multiple choice and short answer questions. If you are interested in seeing how your student scored on this test, please feel free to contact me.

We finished our Social Studies unit about how goods are transported from the farm and factory to the store.  We also played a Guess My Reason game in science.  Each student sorted the solids without telling the other students in his or her group.  Then the other group members had to figure out which property the sort was based on.  

Good News....Today we had an assembly to introduce our new Humphrey book, Friendship According to Humphrey.  Our last Humphrey book was a success so we have decided to read another one as a school.  We will continue to meet with our book buddies and plan some fun activities.

More snow is on the way...Have a great weekend.
