We are also writing non-fiction texts! We'll be reading and writing non-fiction throughout the month of February. We continued learning about How-to writing: that a partner can act out the steps to see if they are confusing. We can also add diagrams with labels to our work.
In math we continued to explore all the ways to make 10. We shared our findings and made a chart showing all the ways. A +1 pattern makes a cool design! It's not done yet, but I'll take a photo and share it when it is.
In social studies, we welcomed February and discussed the MANY celebrations we'll be having. We predicted what the groundhog would do and who would win the Superbowl (see attached). We also attended an all-school assembly on Friday about Kindness Week (next week).
We had our science Weather-a-thon on Thursday! We mixed up all of the classes and went from room to room, enjoying hands on experiences with various kinds of weather. We made sun prints with Mrs. Egan, snow with Dr. Trifiatis and we recorded evidence of wind with Mrs. G. Everyone had a blast in our room, discussing the water cycle and making it rain!
News & Notes (February is a BUSY month so please read!)
