It was a busy week in room 11. We welcomed two new students this week. Everyone was excited to have them back in the building.
Language Arts/Art: We created Valentine’s Day cards for Meals on Wheels. Students created a patterned heart for the cover of the card, and wrote a poem and message inside to help cheer the person receiving the meals on Valentine’s Day. This is one of the outreach activities that our school does in the community each year.
Math: We worked on the “counting back” strategy for subtraction this week. We can use this strategy when subtracting small numbers, such as 1, 2, or 3. For example, 11-2=9 We start at 11 and count back two.
Social Studies: Students created a Map of “Outside My Window”
Science: We got to predict along with the groundhog whether it will be an early Spring or six more weeks of Winter. We did a drawing of the groundhog and wrote our predictions. Your child should have bought home a small book explaining Groundhog Day and the prediction.
Upcoming Events:
On Wednesday, we will hand out our Valentine’s Day cards to everyone. They will be in a bag and you can decide when your child can go through them. There will not be any treats sent in to share with classmates this year. You can send a special treat for your child to personally enjoy that day if you wish. We will be doing some Valentine’s Day and Lunar New Year activities in the afternoon as well.
