Week 23

Hurray for nice weather! I think we had our first full week of school since winter break. I wanted to thank everyone for making my birthday so special. It was one of the best days ever and I appreciate all of your kindness and generosity.

This week we have been reviewing our letters. Our sight words are "did" and "if". This was our book of the week.  

We had fun painting our sight words and painting during some free choice time.

In social studies, we have been learning about our presidents.

In math, we began a unit about coins. Students should be able to identify each coin and tell the value of each coin. We read about the penny. Please review these skills with your child. 

We also learned about presidents and the first one we learned about was Abraham Lincoln.

We had fun making our Abraham Lincoln craft.

We even played with Lincoln logs.

Next, we learned about the quarter.

We read books about George Washington and made a craft.

We learned that the bald eagle is a symbol of our country and is on the back of some quarters.

We also learned and read about the nickel and the dime.

Another fun activity that we started this week is Tile Time. We are solving puzzles and games with tiles and tangrams. We are already looking forward to doing this next week too. Thanks to my parent volunteers for making this possible.

We spent 2 afternoons practicing for the Fine Arts Festival that will be on the evening of March 6th. Please don't forget to put that date on your calendars. Have a great weekend!!!
