Notes:
-This
week we had Tashina’s mom come and talk to us about life in the
Philippians. She brought homemade egg
rolls with her for us to try. We also
had Nick’s grandma come and talk to us about Norway. She showed us some clothes that they were in
Norway. She also brought with her a few
samples of Norwegian food.
-We
have started decorating our bags for Valentine’s Day. Students can bring in
their valentines before Friday, February 13 if they are ready.
Week
in Review:
-This
week we celebrated our 100th day of school. Each first grade classroom had an activity for
each class to participate. Rotations
included making a structure with 100 cups, writing what you would do if you had
$100, and 100 exercises. We had time to
share our 100th day collections.
Students had very creative collections.
Thanks for helping them at home.
-This
week we read A Pocket for Corduroy. We discussed the differences between town and
country as well as the different cultures represented in the book.
-In
math we wrapped up our unit of study on graphs with learning about 3D
shapes.
-In social studies we have started a new unit
that focuses on comparing the past to the present.
