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.
We learned about the first teddy bear, created as a fun tribute to President "Teddy" Roosevelt in 1902. We read the Legend of the Teddy Bear by Frank Murphy. We learned that the Teddy Bear was named after President Theodore Roosevelt. We also read the story Winnie the True Story of the Bear Who Inspired Winnie-The-Pooh by Sally M. Walker. We learned how the books by A.A. Milne came to be. We brought our own Teddy Bears in from home and went on a Teddy Bear Parade through Pine Glen. On our parade we stopped by our 4th grade partners classroom to show our buddies our bears.
