Friday--Miss Calderone's class

Today was a super fast day! This morning we wrote in our journals and after sharing we read a Valentine's Day story. We then learned about describing words (adjectives). We came up with ideas on what kinds of describing words there are and then put words that we chose on stars. We decorated the stars and put them on the bulletin board! It looks gorgeous! As we finished up our stars we had some time to work on our letters to our pen pals. We then talked about needs and wants in social studies and watched a very informative, but fun, movie about our economy. After lunch we read a couple stories and then had math. We continued learning about measuring. My math class discussed a yard and a foot and how they relate. We made some more estimates and measured some objects around the classroom. We were able to get started on our homework; some finished in class. After math we went to music and then came back and had celebration day. We celebrated by watching The Magic School Bus.

The homework for the weekend is to finish your letter to your pen pal (some finished in class) and complete math 17-3 (some finished in class). Also, complete the 100 day folder to bring to school on Monday, our 100th day of school!

****We will not be having a Valentine's Day party but will still exchange treats for those that bring them. A letter will go home next week, but over the weekend try and find some empty shoe/tissue boxes to bring to school! We'll be using them for our treat boxes!
