Weekly Review Feb. 4h-8th

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Variety Show Saturday night! I know it was a very busy night for everyone!
All of the teachers had so much fun performing our swimming routine- we had been working hard at practices to make sure everyone would enjoy the performance.
We are hoping to get a video that I will post for those that could not attend. :)

In Reading:
We are continuing with our Non-Fiction features but now we starting to create our own All About books to practice using all of the Non-Fiction features we have learned. Throughout February we will also be reviewing the strategies that we've already learned. This past week we read 'Owl Moon' and reviewed the purpose and importance of making mental images while reading. Everyone did a wonderful job creating their mental images and writing about how the image helped them to comprehend the story better.

In Math:
The class did a really nice job complete comparison problems all week. Everyone also seemed to very much enjoy learning about food groups and graphing our classes favorite foods using a bar graph.

In Science and Social Studies:
Our pea plants are growing fast, strong and healthy. I will post pictures of our growing plants very soon so please stay tuned!
In Social Studies we continue to learn about landforms, continents and maps.

In Writing:
Next week we will be presenting our biography poster projects. Hooray! The posters are looking great! Everyone is really letting their creative juices flow.

Country Research Project:
Last week we started our Country Research project. They kids chose what country they wanted to research and learn more about. On Thursday, we began to research one of their chosen topics. Everyone is doing a great job taking notes and learning about their new country.


*** Be on the look out Tuesday for the Valentine's Day letter with our classes names printed on it for Valentine's that wish to be sent on Thursday***
