This week we had many students earn Hoot cards for doing a great job on Heggerty and we had an at home writer. We also had some students complete their next Boot Quest and a couple students earn their next percentage point in ST Math. Congratulations!
Over the past few weeks we did different activities to entice leprechauns to visit our classroom. We made pots of gold for our classroom door and shamrocks for our windows. We learned leprechaun poems and songs. We made a leprechaun drawing on the iPad. Students also wrote persuasive messages to tell the leprechaun where they thought a good hiding spot in our classroom for his treasure would be. Lucky the leprechaun did visit our classroom! Lucky must have been impressed by these letters because he left treasure for the students. The kindergartners are also working on a leprechaun book about prepositions on location words (above, under, in, on, beside, left and right). The students all hope that Lucky will be back again next week!
This week we had our 8th student enter the 100% Club in ST Math. Congratulations to Gitansh! We also had other students meet their next percentages in ST Math. We had some students complete their next Book Quest and we had some students turn in their February at home reading sheets and we had 2 at home writers this week! Great job Room 101!
We have started our Animal Research projects with our 4th grade partners. This week students looked through nonfiction animal books to discover if the animal was living or nonliving and how they could prove this information. The kindergartners also chose animals that they will do the research on. We will work with our partners the next four Friday mornings to work on this project. We will keep you all posted on our progress.
We had a busy short week after returning from February vacation. We shared our awesome new sensory bottles that were created at home over vacation. It was nice to hear from the students when they explained the steps that went into making their own sensory bottle. We will keep the bottles in the classroom for a few weeks to enjoy them and then we will send them home.
We also had many students complete their February reading at home charts and we had one student write over vacation. Nice job Room 101.
