Hello families,
This week we read a ton more in our Magic School Bus Chapter Book: Voyage to the Volcano. We are learning a lot about volcanoes and how they shape and change the Earth. We also reviewed the 4 stages in the water cycle (condensation, precipitation, collection, evaporation) and made little cycle books that are now out in the hall. We began to talk about how water also shapes and changes the Earth.
On Thursday we were all excited for the All School Meeting. A few brave first and second graders chose one of their opinion papers to read to the whole school! I wish there were time for each of my students to do this--they have all learned so much and grown as opinion writers over the past few weeks. Hopefuly you saw their progress in the writing samples that came home this week! We also got to sing for the school in our Primary Singers group!
I wanted to remind you all that we will be having a small, classroom Valentine's Day celebration in the morning of Monday February 15th. I sent home a list of the students in our class 2 weeks ago, but I'll email it out to you again in case you misplaced it. Giving valentines is a choice, not a requirement. Please note though that if your child would like to hand out valentines at our celebration they must give one to each student (not just a few). This is important so feelings are not hurt. Thanks!
