ANNOUNCEMENTS AND SHENANIGANS
We  had a fun week last week. We continued our research on either George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and are finishing up our research writing on them. We wrapped up interdependence and started discussing needs and wants. We are continuing our conversations on place value and comparing numbers. Valentine’s Day was a fun treat on Thursday. Thank you to all the parents that came to volunteer and of course our amazing room moms, Shweta Arora and Ricki Ahearn, who helped organize the party for the class. I definitely felt the love from all of you. Thank you for your sweet treats, cards, beautiful flowers and lovely gifts!

 

We had our parent reader on Friday afternoon. Juliette’s dad came and read to us. They really enjoyed The Book With No Pictures.

 

I hope you all enjoy your long weekend. Remember that students do not have school on Monday, February  18th or Tuesday, February 19th. We will see everyone back on Wednesday, February 20th!

 

We enjoyed learning more about our friend Juliette this week while she was the superstar.
