Well, what a week we had last week! Valentine's Day was a lot of fun, sharing cards and treats with our friends, all the while learning and creating! Friday was our 100th day of school and we had a fantastic day!! The students brought in some awesome collections of 100 and Mrs. Underhill and I surprised the students with our very own collection of 100 candles on a special cake to mark the day! Check our the pictures in the image gallery below. Thanks to all the parents for the help and support they gave their children preparing for these activities!
Another great week is upon us and we will continue with the next set of spelling words in the homework duotangs. Our Daily 5 routine will be back in full force each day. During our Writers Workshop we will be concentrating on the word choice trait, choosing "WOW" words and making our stories more interesting. In Math, we will continue to focus on Numbers to 100, getting all students more comfortable with the hundred chart.
A reminder that there is no school for the students this Friday, February 24 as there is professional development for teachers.
I want to congratulate Owen and Patrick for the fantastic job they did in the So You Think You Can Dance competition at Harkins. They will be representing the K-2 classes from our school at the District 16 competition this week!!!!! Way to go boys, I know you will do us proud!!
