Announcements
We had a very busy, short week here in room 215! Due to Conferences, there is no Friday Folder checklist this week and we did not complete Weekly Journals. They will both resume next week.
The students had a blast celebrating Valentine's Day on Tuesday. We loved looking at all the creative boxes and, of course, eating candy.
Thank you to everyone who came for Parent Teacher Conferences. As this was our last scheduled conference, please let me know if you would like to meet again as the year continues.
In the Classroom
We finished learning all the factors in math this week. We spent time practicing these facts by using our flashcards and playing games. We also discussed multiplication word problems. Students learned how to determine if they should multiply and then applied their fact knowledge to solve the problems. We will start a new unit called Muffles Truffles next week.
We finished our non-fiction expert pieces! The students worked so hard to complete their publishing this week. The best part was our celebration on Thursday. It is so wonderful to see the students reading each other's work and giving positive feedback.
In Science this week, we completed our My Plate webquest. We also had a special guest teacher on Wednesday. Ms. Dana reviewed the food groups and important nutrients with us. We even got to make a salad that had something from every food group in it!
We also had one last activity to do for Geography. On Wednesday, we did a Mystery Skype to put all our great Geography vocabulary to the test! Our mystery class was located in Connecticut, and we had so much fun trying to figure out their location. Our bloggers took some great pictures!
