We have been learning so much about Florida and manatees with our Go2Science mission! We have 2 weeks left 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. We also decided to adopt a manatee and give support to their health and information to the public about the importance of their existence. I have made him our "class pet" and have told the students I would pass along the information to you in case they were able to adopt a manatee at home. Check out the link if you are interested!

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, tallies, coins, patterns, and 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)
If you would like to send in Kleenex or Clorox wipes, we are quickly running out! Thank you!
