We kicked off the month of February with a fun study of Groundhog Day. The students enjoyed learning about this holiday and making their own groundhogs.
The 100th day of school will be this month. Students are asked to create a display of 100 items. These displays will be on the bulletin boards in the first grade hall.
We will begin Unit 7 in Math. It is a Geometry unit. The students will learn about attributes, patterns, 3 dimensional shapes, polygons and non-polygons, symmetry and congruence.
Writing Workshop is continuing to focus on opinion writing this month. We are writing Book Reviews of our favorite books, trying to convince others to read them.
We will celebrate Valentine's Day on Tuesday, February 14th. Students can bring in Valentine cards to give to their classmates. We will also have some treats and make a pretty Valentine bag to hold our cards.
I will be testing the students DRA levels for reading this month. I will also be administering the DIBELS test this month.
Remember, there is a no school on Monday, February 17. Enjoy President's Day!
