This Wednesday we will be hosting a bake sale. Please send in a dozen items we can sell for 50 cents. All profits will go toward inventory for the school store.
In math we have just finished up units on place value and greater than and less than. Students had a great time coming up with amazingly large numbers and comparing them. This week we are starting our unit on time.
Keep your eyes peeled for an updated slide show on the blog showing students working out of their literacy folders. Each child is working independently at their own pace on literacy projects. Today when I offered to stop folder work after 45 minutes to play a literacy game I was voted down! The majority of the class requested that we continue working quietly.
We have also started visiting the computer lab twice weekly to work on books from the RAZ kids website. Kids love completing activities and decorating their RAZ rocket. This is an activity your child can do at home. I will be sending home information about how to log on this week.
Last week we learned about similes. The fantastic fourteen worked with their buddies to come up with interesting, funny and descriptive snow similes.
Weather is the word for science. This week we will be starting a study of weather. We have wanted to start this unit for the past three weeks, but kept getting snowed out. How appropriate.
Sales at the Cool Stuff Store have slowed considerably. The Fantastic Fourteen have been brainstorming ideas about how to drum up more business. Hopefully, new inventory brought in by our bake sale will help our sales improve.
We are still collecting Pennies for Peace and are planning to give a percentage of our profits to this wonderful organization. http://www.penniesforpeace.org/2009/08/01/nea-aug-01-09/
