Just a couple of weeks until Spring!
I hope the kids enjoyed their vacation! Our flight home on Sunday was delayed, so it was a very short night but I was excited to get back to our classroom and hear all about everyone's adventures!
Kola enjoyed the NEA conference, but he had more fun on a chilly day at Myrtle Beach. Can you spot his new friend in the background?
We've been enjoying our geometry work, opinion writing, and work with retelling/sequencing stories! We're also practicing skip counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s to 120!
Valentine's Day was a fun afternoon!
Poems/Poetry Reading: Thank you for helping us bring in our poems! We'll host our Poetry Reading and 120 Museum on Friday, March 22nd at 2:00PM in the cafeteria. Friends and family are invited to attend! The children will recite some poems we're learning as a class, then stand in groups around the room and take turns reciting their poems. The audience will travel to each group at their leisure. This will give the kids multiple opportunities to share their poems, and they won't have to stand alone in front of a big crowd. :)
120th Day Museum: If your child's 120 Art Project is large or fragile, you can bring it with you to the event vs. sending it in ahead of time.
Book orders are going home today; please submit online and paper orders by March 8.
Basket Raffle: Classes will be creating baskets for the annual Basket Raffle! Our class is creating a Movie Night basket. I already have the basket, so we just need donations of items that could be enjoyed on a Movie Night.
The Iditarod sled dog race will start tomorrow in Alaska! We'll be tracking the mushers' progress and learning about the origin of this race.
Thanks for checking out the Upcoming Events list!
Enjoy your weekend! I have a committee meeting in Augusta all day tomorrow, but am looking forward to some snowshoeing on Sunday. I hope you all find something special to do too!
