theme

Since our holiday break, our themes have included winter, diversity and coming next week, is a penguin theme.  We have been working on personal narrative writing and writing to inform.  Ask your child to tell you what a personal narrative is.  S/he should tell you that it is writing about herself/himself.

Coming soon will be our 100th day of school.  Begin thinking of a 100's collection that your child can bring to school.  More information to follow!

We will also start sending home an estimation bag.  Each child will have a turn to bring in a bag of items to put in the estimation jar.  The jar will be passed around during class, and each child guesses how many items are in the jar.  The students love doing this, especially when they get picked to bring the estimation bag home.
