We fit a lot into this week!

Sara Raabe came in on Tuesday and talked to the first grade about school safety. The kids asked great questions.

Mrs. Demore's third grade class came down and read their nonfiction books they wrote.

Tracy Towers, the Tooth Tutor came to our classroom on Friday and taught us how to take good care of our teeth. We learned about visiting the dentist, brushing, and flossing. Each child has a bag that they brought home from Tracy.

We also had a whole school celebration! The entire school played bingo and it was a blast!














Jump Rope for Heart will be on Tuesday. We had to change it due to the snow day.

Literacy:
We started our opinion writing unit for writing. The students are learning how to state their opinion and back it up giving multiple reasons. In reading, the students are becoming the Boss of their Reading! This means they are monitoring their own reading to see if what they are reading makes sense. If it doesn't make sense, they are developing strategies to help figure out the hard words.

Math:
Wow! Lot's of great work in math this week! Students are deepening their understanding of tens and ones. We have also introduced greater than and less than signs. We also are working on  telling time to the hour and half hour.
