This week we began to study how to share our opinions with others in writing. We are learning how to introduce a topic, give our opinion, and share reasons why we think/feel what we do. This week we wrote about our favorite animals. Some of us finished on Thursday so our new writing pieces are hung up outside our room. Read to learn about our favorite animals!
We also read more books about many cycles that affect us--the 24 hour Earth rotation cycle which makes a day; the 365 day Earth revolution which makes a year; and the about month long moon orbit. We also read a few books about the phases of the moon. We've been having great conversation about this science topic during our read aloud times!
On Thursday we had a fun 4 Winds with Karen. Our focus this month was on the seasons--particularly winter. We noticed differences in animal and plant behavior in the seasons. We also went outside and made a winter plant bouquet to bring home. We were amazed at how many kinds of plants we could find even with our new snow covering!
Many of our friends have coughs and colds. We've been trying to drink extra water and make sure we wash our hands often to stop the spread of germs. I hope you all get lots of rest this upcoming weekend to fend off any illness! Speaking of not spreading germs, we are running low on disinfecting wipes. We work as a class to do Community Cleaning in our classroom each Friday. We "clean it like we mean it!" If you have a spare container of wipes you could donate to the class, please send them in! We are also running low on snack/sandwich size ziplocs and napkins--please send any in if you have some to spare.
I also wanted to update you that report cards will be coming home on this upcoming Monday, instead of Friday. Look out for them then!
Tomorrow is another Winter Wellness day. Don't forget to send your child to school with any items they will need!
