I hope that everyone is having a great weekend and all of my Room 118 friends had a fantastic Snow Day on Friday! 2022 is already off to a fabulous start in our classroom! I look forward to another wonderful week ahead! 😃
Happy New Year! 🎉
On Monday we read the book, Squirrel's New Year's Resolution and brainstormed resolutions of our own for our, "Shine Bright in the New Year" bulletin board! Ask your child what resolution they made and what steps they are going to take achieve their goal!
During our read alouds this week we focused on positive thinking and Growth Mindset! We will continue to read and discuss these important ideas to help our New Year's resolutions come true and to be the best that we can be in 2022!
This week is writing we began our unit on Poetry! Ask your child what they have written poems about so far to see how they have approached this new genre! 📚
In math we continue to add and subtract two-digit numbers using the Partial Sums and Partial Differences strategies! Keep up the great work mathematicians!
A big thank you to our Technology Specialist, Mrs. Carroll who created five highly engaging technology centers, which focused on the continents and oceans of the world! We had so much fun participating in these amazing activities on Thursday! Thank you for all that you do Mrs. Carroll! 🌎
