This week was full of fun! We had our 100th day celebration on Monday, followed by a week of more fun and learning! On Friday we celebrated the friendships in our classroom. As each student added their fruit to the fruit salad, they said something about a friendship they have made or value in the classroom. For example "I'm glad I made friends with Suzie this year, because I have a new friend on the playground". There were a lot of meaningful words shared and we reflected on how important friendships really are; not what are friends can do for us, but how they make us feel and the importance of having them in our lives. I am super happy with how each student shared and meant it. After our fruit salad, students passed out their valentine's and admired each others valentine boxes. I was quite impressed at their creations!
The Kids Heart Challenge was a huge success and they were very tired once we got back to the classroom. Don't forget that this is Spirit week! Wear your BLUE & GOLD tomorrow to show your BOBCAT support! Please refer to the previous post to see what to wear each day for spirit week! There will be NO spelling this week, only Reading Log for Homework! We will be reviewing many phonics and grammar skills this week. We will be working on our Opinion Writing. We will continue to work through our Unit 5 in math, along with reviewing many skills we have learned this year in Units 1-4. We will be touching base on Presidents and US History and will finish off the week with some STEM weather projects! I will post pictures of this week as soon as my computer is cooperating! Thank you, Mrs. LeBourveau SPIRIT Theme Days for NEXT WEEK!

Parents,

We have completed our "When I am 100 years old" writing today...I will post pictures from the bulletin board tomorrow! Thank you, Mrs. LeBourveau Happy Groundhog Day! Thank you Punxsutawney Phil!!! Hopefully Spring will be here soon! (With some snow this Thursday I hear!)
Wow! Another month come and gone! We have been very busy!!! We just completed our Wonders Unit 3, where we ended the last week talking about how we express ourselves through art, music and dance. We read about how to make recycled instruments in our reading groups. What better way to test their skills, than by having them create their very own recycled instruments. They had a blast! We invited the music teacher Mrs. Kjellander into the class and played her a tune with our instruments. I LOVE how they were able to create and have fun while putting what they have learned into action. Friday was a great day! We have wrapped up Unit 4 in our math as well and took our Unit 4 assessment. This will be coming home soon. Please review these skills at home with your kiddos. Telling time to the nearest 5 minutes is still tricky, so please ask your kiddos to tell you the time at home. This is a skill they need to master this trimester! We have also wrapped up our States of Matter unit and will be finishing up our Weather Unit this week. Next week and most of February we will be learning about Presidents and American History and Symbols. In writing we are creating stories about what we will look like and what we will be doing at 100 years old...because our 100th day of School is this FRIDAY, February 7th. We will begin our opinion writing the week after! On the 7th we will spend the day reading, creating and playing 100th days activities that are aligned with our 2nd grade curriculum. Coming up on Friday, Feb. 14th is our Kids Heart Challenge for Jump rope and Valentine's Day. Be on the lookout tomorrow for a pink piece of paper with info regarding our Feb. Friendship Day Celebration! It will be a simple celebration in our classroom focusing on FRIENDSHIP and what true friendship means. The week before Feb. vacation is going to be spirit week. There will be a dress up/theme to each day. As soon as this is unveiled to teachers, I will pass the information along to you! At the end of the week we will be having an Olympic Style Pep Rally. Our class is going to represent IRELAND! I am so excited because I am taking a trip to IRELAND this summer! It is kind of perfect with all of the Irish decor out there with the upcoming St. Paddy's day. I have already purchased a St. Paddy's Day Green necklace for each student to wear to the Pep Rally and take home with them. I would like the students to wear green that Friday and feel free to get as decked out in St. Paddy's day gear as much as possible! Let's see some Irish Spirit! It will be a great way to kick off Winter Vacation! Once again, thank you parents for all you do! Enjoy the photos of your kiddos making their recycled instruments! Mrs. LeBourveau |
