Classroom News 1/10

We had a wonderful week in Room 15. It was great to have everyone back AND to win the Golden Apple to start our year off right!

Our STAR OF THE WEEK was Hunter! He shared some lovely photo collages to give us a peek into his life! Great job, Hunter!

We had a visit from Author, Robert Young this week! He talked to us about how we get ideas for writing our own stories, and why we write. We learned that we all have something important to say! It was a great assembly. Room 15 showed off their Billie Spirit by being a great audience!

Social Studies
We have been working hard all week on our Native American projects. They look great! Thank you to all the parents who sent in great materials and/or helped us out in the classroom this week. I really appreciate it!

Math
We started a new math unit on geometry. We kicked off this week by reviewing and learning the names of different lines and angles. We will continue with this unit for the next couple weeks.

Reading
We practiced recognizing helping verbs and their tense. We know it's important to pay attention to tense when we write our own stories. The students did a nice job memorizing the past, present, and future tense helping verbs.

Safety Week
We had our safety week this week, where we practice many drills. We practiced an earthquake drill, lock down drill, room clear drill, and bus safety. I am very proud of how diligent and respectful Room 15 is during these practices. I have full confidence that they would respond appropriately in any case of emergency!
