We had another
wonderful week! I can’t believe February is already here!
In Math, we worked
on a lot of measurement. It is really fun and gets the students moving around
and working together. We reviewed how we measure using a ruler and measured
many things in our classroom. We even measured the length and width of the
classroom using yardsticks. That was a challenge!
My favorite lesson
of the week (and probably the kids too) was measuring jumps. They had to do a
frog, rabbit, and kid jump and then measure how far they landed from the
starting line. They did a nice job working together.
We also learned
about a place called “The Land of Inch” where miniature people live. The
students had to measure and compare different people and items from there.

In Writing, we are
working on finishing our perfect snow day pieces. Today, we used the
leader/follower format to write about our favorite restaurants. Their writing
is really showing improvement!
In Social Studies,
we discussed where our beanie babies lived on the map of the United States
We also started
learning about landforms and bodies of water. We watched a Brain Pop Jr. video
as an introduction and went over the specific ones we would be studying. We
read about islands and made a cool island folder.
I assigned a special landform report today that is in their backpack folders, so be sure to check the folder! They are very excited!
We read about
Groundhog Day today also and I told them to check the news to see if he will
see his shadow tomorrow. We also had to say good-bye to their special beanie baby friends. Check the fun photos for a cute group shot of all of them!
Thank you sooooo
much for all of my wish list items! You were very generous!
I appreciate it!
Have a wonderful
weekend with your family!
