Happy Valentine's 💝week! This is also Random Acts of Kindness Week. Read on below for the scoop on both events and so much more...
Math: We will be wrapping up our data and measurement unit with data interpretation. This includes learning to make and read tally marks, bar graphs, and asking and answering word problems about data sets. This has been a fun unit.
ELA: We will spend this week finishing our chapter book, "My Father's Dragon." This will include a short comprehension test. Our Hartcourt story will be "At Home Around the World."
Science: Our class will be moving on to the motion part of our unit. We will learn about how things are moved by force, and focus this week on how on objects moves when pushed. Students will make tops and focus on how they use the force of pushing to make them move.
Social Studies: National symbols continues with Mount Rushmore.
Next Week Extra Happenings:
This Week (February 12th - 16th) is Random Acts of Kindness Week sponsored by our amazing PTO. All week we will be building a kindness chain that will run throughout the school. Whenever one of out students gets caught in the middle of a random act of kindness we will put their name and good deed on a strip of paper and add their link to the chain. We hope to show the kids how one act of kindness can multiply into many. In addition we will have spirit days all next week. They are:
- Monday is Pajama Day (please bring shoes and jackets for recess still!)
- Tuesday is Tie Dye Day
- Wednesday is Red and Pink Day (Valentines Day!)
- Thursday is Hawaii Day
- Friday is Crazy Hair Day
Valentine's Day is also smack dab in the middle of this week. We will be celebrating at the end of the day on Wednesday. We sent home a list last week, but please let us know if you need another. Also, we will not be sending out a sign up, but if you care to send in treats for our party that would be fine. Please remember, we do have a peanut allergy. Also, we do not need anything sweet or junky, the students will get plenty of this in their valentines. Fruit, cheese and crackers, veggies and dip are always a hit. It may sound strange, but they truly do eat it up! We have juice and cups already. Thank you in advance!
The Science Fair is right around the corner, February 28th. However, projects are due February 23rd. Our class will be working on a class science experiment. However if your child is interested in doing an individual experiment they may. You may access more information and some help/information via our school site http://www.marshallmagnetschool.com/. Click the link at the top labeled "Science Fair Stuff." I will also be putting some information in your child's cubbies this week. Be on the lookout this week.
