We had Ag in the Classroom today and we got to learn about sheep and their wool!  We got to make our own sheep with real wool!  We took our Unit 4 math test today.  Some of the problems were a little tricky, but I think we did pretty good overall!  We will start Unit 5 on Tuesday, when we come back from our long weekend!  We will take our spelling pretest 2 tomorrow and our post-test on Thursday since there is no school on Friday.

It sounds like there's a good chance for a snow day tomorrow!  I am sending home this week's Friday folder today, just in case!  We did a lot of our Friday work today also!  Please remember that if you have not sent a Flat Stanley address to school or a Valentine's Day box to do that ASAP!

Thanks!

We had a great week this week!  We read a fantasy story in reading called The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash!  It was a funny story that the kids enjoyed!  In math, we are still working on solving story problems using several different strategies!  Please remember that Valentine's Day boxes are due to school next Friday, February 9.  Also, please see the Flat Stanley letter in today's Friday folder.  Addresses for our Flat Stanley project are due on Friday, February 9 as well!

The kids did a great job on today's spelling pretest!  Eight kids passed today's test and will take the challenge test on Wednesday!  In reading today, we looked at this week's story called The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash.  In math, we learned how to add on to a number to solve a problem.  This is just another strategy that we can use to solve an equation.  We will working on this strategy for a few days.  There will be a sub in our classroom tomorrow, but I will be in the building as the second grade teachers have an all-day meeting!

We had a great time today during our 100th Day reading party.  We spent some time reading independently and with a partner.  We also listened and watched a read aloud called A Bad Case of the Stripes on the SMARTBoard. Next week, we will be back into our normal routine with reading and spelling.  Our story for next week is called The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash.  We will be talking about cause and effect throughout the week.

Please remember to be working with your child on his or her Valentine's Day box as they should be sent to school on Friday, February 9!

We are still working hard on two and three digit subtraction!  Most of the kids are doing a great job!  In reading, we have had a review week this week.  We have spent time reviewing lots of different concepts from the last unit in reading and spelling.  Don't forget to be working on your Valentine's box at home!
