We are working hard on habitats! Together with Emily's class, we are building habitats for our bears. We have divided up and are studying polar bears, pandas and grizzly bears. We have found out some interesting facts about our bears.
We are also busy using our touch points to subtract and have been counting down from 50. Some of the second years are also learning about regrouping and subtracting 2 digit numbers.
We have been reading about bears during our reading time. Polar Bears Past Bedtime, a Magic Tree House book and some shorter books as well. We have been reading many versions of the Three Bears and have retold Goldilocks and the Three Bears story in our own writing.
Thank you very much for the soup! We donated several bags of soup to the seniors via LOA and they were very excited to get our donation. We have also made Valentines to give to some of the adults who live at Hollin's Manor with our buddies from RuthAnn's room. We also gave them cards at Thanksgiving and Christmas. The adults were very excited to receive these cards.
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and we are getting ready by decorating our envelopes. We also are doing several activities today and tomorrow and are very excited to be celebrating with our friends. It is also the 100th day tomorrow. Can you believe that we have been in school 100 days? I can't!
Remember to read with your child and encourage them to read for 5-10 minutes daily. We have begun word study and they should be bringing home a copy of their sort on Monday or Tuesday so you will know what words we are working on. Right now, they are short vowel words with a digraph, sh, ch or wh beginning.
