Friday

It's been a wild week. When we have snow days and delays, it takes a bit to reorganize my brain! Anyway, in math this morning, we worked on solving division and multiplication word problems. There is a special message from Mr. G about PE next week:  2nd and 3rd graders will need their outdoor clothes during PE next week for snowshoeing.  I've also mentioned to the kids that (if they remember) they could bring in snowshoes from home. If the temps next week are well below 20, we'll be inside. Please remember to send your child with the appropriate clothes for outside.  Thank you!

In social studies we read about the elephant seal. We got really excited about a National Geographic TV special about leopard seals that Mrs. Guay saw last night so we put the video up on the screen. I did not preview the video first (my fault) and wanted to let you know that the man narrating the video said the H word. I'm very sorry about this.  We truly apologize about it. We did, however, see some great photos of a leopard seal up close.

In writing, students did a 3 minute prompt which I do monthly. It's fun to compare the writing each month. In word work, we learned how to make words plural by using 's' or 'es'. We talked about the rules to determine which one to add. 

This afternoon we did workjobs and catch up work. We ended our day with some fun reading games.

Valentine's Party is Friday, February 13.  You should be hearing from Mrs. Westover soon regarding this.  Thank you!
