Hexagon, Rhombus, Triangle

We reviewed again in SWR this morning, we will have our Trimester 2 SWR asssessment tomorrow.  Ryan F. helped me during SWR to celebrate his awesome behavior! 

Please remember that there is a Valentine's Day celebration in our classroom tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon at 1:45pm.  We would love it if you could join us!  The students will be exchanging Valentine's and having a few treats.  (Many thanks to Mrs. Fetters for organizing our extravaganza!)

We explored more with shapes this morning in math.  We played the Attribute Chain game!  Ask your first grader to tell you about this fun game.  It's very tricky... we also played Design Match and built with pattern blocks.

 

We read more of our new read aloud, The Year of the Panda, we are so excited because the main character found a baby panda, or daxiong mau, and took it home with him to care for it.  We cannot wait to see what happens next! 

We also read a Chinese story about the inventions of kites and responded to this story in our China folders.  We continue to learn so much about China and everything it is famous for.

At the end of the day we worked on our realistic fiction stories and took a trip to the Giant Panda reserve in China! We watched a few short videos about pandas and their habitats.  Check out watchknowlearn.org for more amazing educational videos.

If you have not yet sent in your child's permission slip for our upcoming field trip, please do that as soon as possible.  THANKS!
