I decided to BLOG on Thurs. this week because we have some VERY exciting News!!! We have a new student in our class!! YEA!!! We are all so excited to welcome Kai Zhouto the Dingess Dalmatian class today!! He just moved here from New York City! Welcome Kai (pronounced Ki - long i sound)! The kids a GREAT job today making him feel welcome and introducing themselves to him. He Loves art and even brought in a couple of pictures to share...guess what, it was a picture of the "angry bird" game...so many of our Dalmatian friends could relate to that game with him and made the connection immediately! Thank you all for welcoming him!
I hope you all had a very Nice Break!! Be sure to READ the BLOG every Friday to stay up to date on what is happening in the Dalmatian class!
In math, we are finishing up our 2 and 3D shapes and will be reviewing and practicing comparing numbers (greater than, less than, equal). We are also going to be starting Minute Math...which are timed tests to see if you know your math facts. In writing, we are writing our New Year's goals. In social studies we are learning about MLK and reviewing the heroes that we have studied so far. Next week, we will begin to study Harriett Tubman. In reading, we are continuing our focus on main idea, details, and summarizing the books we read.
