Happy President's Day!
This week we will be learning about Abraham Lincoln and George Washington and the contributions they made as leaders of our country. We will also be continuing our genre study of fairy tales. This week we will read Rumpelstiltskin and Little Red Riding Hood. The students loved hearing and seeing Jack and the Beanstalk last week. I hope they retold the story to you at home, using their pictures as a guide. In math, we will be starting a new unit on geometry. We will explore attributes, 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes, symmetry, congruence, polygons, pattern blocks, geoboards, templates, and flannel board pieces.
In writing workshop, our mini-lessons will focus on beginning, middle, and endings in our stories, as well as matching pictures to text. I hope you enjoyed the pieces that the students brought home last week.
Our canine friends will be visiting on Tuesday. We can't wait to see how they are dressed! The students always love reading to them.
We are still collecting shampoo and conditioner. Look for a letter to come home about our Tricky Tray basket this week.
Have a super week!
