Happy Valentine's Day

We had a very busy day. This morning we had Jump Rope for Heart. The kids spent 45 minutes running and jumping. They had a blast! This afternoon we watched a Charlie Brown Valentine while students passed out their cards and candy. To end the day we played some Minute to Win it Games. It was a great day filled with lots of laughter and love.

TIME for Math

The students took their plates home and were challenged to find other items around the house to use as hands on the clock. 

As always we have some fun songs to help reinforce our time concepts.

A Week in Review

This week we were busy, busy, busy. In spelling we completed our second week of Buddy Study with the chunks -an and -ap. In reading we learned how to tell if a book was non-fiction. Our writing unit on How-To books continued this week as we learned how to add details to help our readers. Social Studies focused on needs and wants, while in math we began exploring measurement.
