Thank You!
A big thanks from our class to everyone who sent in 100th Day snacks! We mixed up our donations in a big tub and handed out paper cups and napkins for everyone to count to 100. Then we ate our snack!
We also enjoyed rotating to five other teachers to learn how to do different 100 day counting activities. Our books are coming home today.
Math
We have finished our units with Counting and Trading Money and we took our Chapter Test. Now we will move to Graphing. We are learning how to read and use information in graphs.
Reading
We are working on vocabulary work in our reading groups to make sure we understand all the different meanings of words in our reading books. We will also continue to bring home books to read independently.
We are finished with our study of an American Hero, Harriet Tubman. Slavery can be a difficult subject for children of this age, but they have grasped the life skills that Harriet and other Americans used as they showed their courage, perseverance, and hard work to overcome unjust laws. We made a paper class quilt to show the hidden meanings of the quilt blocks as this was one way to have a map to escape to the free states and Canada.
Next week we will began learning about Teddy Roosevelt, the Father of our National Parks System.
School Spirit Day February 3rd
Next Friday, February 3rd, is our next School Spirit Day. Please let your child wear their class T-shirt or other Sope Creek Shirt that day.
