Week of Feb. 20 - Feb. 24

Here are a few important things that are happening this week in our classroom and around the school. *In Literacy this week, we are working on the letter Ll. Lots of lovely words begin with this letter, like lizard, lollipop, lavender, lemon-aide, ladybug, leaves, lake, and llama are just a few. Show and Tell will be on Thursday this week because there is no school on Friday. *In Math, we will continue to work on Measurement. Check out the web link I posted called ‘How Tall?’. The kids really enjoyed this when I showed it to them and again when they got a chance to play during free play. *The Scholastic Book Fair begins on Monday, February 20th and runs until Wednesday, February 22nd. We will be visiting the fair on Monday morning. *We are going skating on Wednesday, February 22nd and will be leaving the school at 8:35. If your child needs to borrow a helmet, please let me know ahead of time so I can get one that fits him/her. *There is NO school on Friday, February 24th due to Curriculum Implementation Day. Enjoy your long weekend. * In class Scholastic Book Orders are due Thursday, February 23rd.

How Tall? (Math)

http://pbskids.org/curiousgeorge/games/how_tall/how_tall.html

In Math, we have been measuring things to see how tall or how long things are. We even measured ourselves. This is a website where kids have to guess how many of something it takes to measure the object. The kids had fun with it so I decided to post it in case anyone wanted to play at home. Have fun!
