Great week back!

Important Dates:

Wednesdays: library
January 11: early release
January 16: No School

Winter Clothing:
Winter is here. Please make sure to send in winter clothing for recess. We go outside everyday. Snow pants, boots, mittens, hat, and a coat are really important this time of year. Do you  have boots, snow pants, or a coat your child has outgrown? I would love a few to keep in our extra locker for those days that items are forgotten. Please feel free to send in any old winter outdoor clothes that you don't need anymore.

Field Trip:

Our field trip to the Flynn was awesome! We got to see Cirque Mother Africa. As Zulie said, "It had music, singing, dancing, and tricks!" It was fantastic! Thank you to our volunteers who were able to come with us. 

Literacy:
The class has jumped right into our exciting study of nonfiction! This first week, we have introduced what nonfiction is and started to develop our super smart reading habits. We are learning that nonfiction can be read in a different way than fiction. We are taking the time to really study the pictures and other nonfiction features before actually reading the words. There is so much information in those nonfiction pictures!

During writing time we are finishing up our small moments before starting our nonfiction writing next week. 

Math:

.Our unit of measurement continues with comparing measurements. We even compared all the people in our  math class and ordered then from shortest to tallest!
