Classroom News 2/14


Whew, we had a great week!

First off, I missed a week. Sorry! It was an important week too, because we won THE GOLDEN APPLE and THE OSCAR! We were so excited to get these awards. I'm just one proud teacher!

Lauren was our STAR OF THE WEEK this week! She brought in an eight-legged little friend and shared some great family photos! Great job, Lauren!

Reading
This week we focused on recognizing persuasion in non-fiction pieces. We also started writing biographies about presidents to celebrate President's Day. The students are researching information for their chosen president via Mr. Grassman's blog. 

Math
Fractions, fractions, fractions! This week the focus was finding equivalent fractions using tape diagrams, number lines, and multiplication and division. We will continue with this next week also. We started doing math with partners in class. Ask your student how they feel it's going with their partner! This is still new and we are still practicing how to be good math partners. 

We ended the week with a BANG! Thank you to our awesome room parents for organizing and executing our Valentine shindig. Shout out to Deborah, Heidi, Rosetta, and Michelle for helping to reign in the chaos all afternoon! Here are some photos from our V-day photo booth! (We had some special visitors during the party too)!
Reminders
OBOB mini assembly will be Wednesday 1-2 in the community center.
