Hello!

Well, this has been an incredibly busy week! I am ever so thankful to be back in the classroom and feeling like a "normal/healthy" individual! I hope you are all feeling well and are able to enjoy this coming week doing those things you love the most~

I will have my grandchildren for a few days. They are 5, 7, and 14. Busy, busy, busy...

So, this week started with a special assembly/musical in the cafeteria. The 6th graders entertained us and we were so excited to get back toward what feels like school used to.

 

Monday was also Valentine's Day and we showered each other with friendship and love. 

Thursday was our 100th day of school and we celebrated all day with dozens of activities surrounding the number 100. We even had a 100 snack using a pretzel rod and mini bagels. We tried to stack 100 red solo cups and completed 100 exercises. We enjoyed books about children celebrating their 100th day of school and practiced number writing to 100. We also wrote about what food item we could eat 100 of. There was quite a selection of foods chosen-along with some pretty hefty appetites! 

                    We worked with Mrs. Plummer's class to get all 100+ cans/food items up to the office to be sent off to the food bank. Thank you for all of your donations. It was much appreciated!

I hope you all have a wonderful week! March is just around that corner!

We have been learning so much about the continent of Australia and kangaroos with our Go2Science mission! This coming week will be the final week to test our hypothesis.  If you are on Facebook you can check out the Go2Science page to keep up to date with what we have been working on. 

During writing time they are spending their time editing previous work. They are learning to add details and label pictures to make their writing more interesting to the reader.

In math we are working with teen numbers, formation of numbers, making pictures to match the number written, addition and subtraction practice, counting by 5s and 10s, working with probability through dice games, reading and creating graphs.  Our routines at calendar time include; counting to the calendar number of the day, weather observations, tracking the number of days we have been in school and days of the week. 

We are learning about the Woolwich Way! The Woolwich Way is made up of 6 qualities that will help us to be the best we can be! (Courtesy- I can use good manners, Compassion-I can help others, Respect- I can treat others kindly, Honesty-I can tell the truth, Responsibility- I can take care of myself and my stuff, Quality- I can do my best even when things are hard)

Upcoming Events: 

Kindergarten is going to attempt to collect 100 non-perishable food items before February vacation. We haven't been able to do this the past few years because of-well you know- so we are incredibly excited to be able to do this community service project again. If you are able, please consider donating food for this drive. Thank you~
