What a week!

Hello parents and families! We have had another great and full week!

Next week in reading, students will begin discussing how changes in the weather affect us. Students also finished their writing pieces about their houses this week. We loved the details and vivid descriptions they were using! In math, we began learning about fractions and will continue exploring them next week for the rest of our unit. We will also wrap up our science unit about different rollers next week with an exciting lesson in which we will create a class roller coaster! Here are the students exploring rolling cups and other rollers on ramps:

We began to prepare for “Read Across America” Week by celebrating with delicious “Cat in the Hat” cupcakes made by Mrs. McMullen, Lydia's mother! Thank you so much for the wonderful cupcakes, Mrs. McMullen!! The students loved them J Here are some pictures of them enjoying their special treat.

We loved the crazy socks, favorite hats, and favorite character school days! Here is a class picture of all of the fantastic character outfits that we saw today.

Just a reminder that Monday we will celebrate “Read Across America” for Dr. Seuss’ birthday, and Wednesday will be the International Fair! Hopefully, the expected snow won’t hit us too hard, and we will have another full week. If we are off on Monday and have a delay on Tuesday, then we will celebrate “Read Across America” on Tuesday, but will have the breakfast on Wednesday, before the International Fair. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Mrs. Brittain or me!

Also, be sure to check out our new class door. The rainbow is made up of all of the children’s hand prints!

I have had another fabulous week working with your children, and I am very sad to say that unfortunately, next week will be my last with them L Mrs. Brittain will begin taking back subjects gradually throughout the week. Thank you again for all of your support and enjoy your weekend!
