What We Have Been Doing:
Math- This week we are beginning to work in our Math Journals. We will practice comparing pairs of numbers, represent data with tally marks, investigate equal -chance events, and focus on using the calendar as a device for keeping track of the days of the month.
Theme- We will learn what we already know about Africa. We will write questions about what we would like to know about Africa. We will begin focusing on the African Savannah as one of the main habitats of Africa. We will read "Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain" by Verna Aardema.
Spirit Day- Spirit Day and Crazy Hair day will be on Tuesday, February 5. Students who come to school in Stargate colors and crazy hair will be put in a drawing for a prize. We will go to the gym for a pep rally in the afternoon to show our school spirit.
Skate Night- Tonight is skate night at Skate City. Skate City will provide an incentive to participate in your upcoming School Skate Night. When the minimum overall attendance requirement is achieved, they will give the class with the most attendance a $100 cash prize to use for the classroom!
