Tiger Habitat

Our school is building a habitat for the stuffed tiger we received to represent the tiger our school has sponsored. Our contribution was to be a source of water... either a river or a pond. We have been very busy with the messy yet beautiful technique of making a river for our tiger!

The finished product was something to be proud of!!!!!

A great bith THANK YOU and HUG to SHAR!!!!!! :)

Fun Math Game

We played a fun math game as a class today that your child might like to try at home. They need to be pretty comfortable with adding. I will keep looking for an easier one.

Student Readers

We are starting to have student readers present to our class! Children who have practiced a book either at home or at school and can read it without getting 'stuck' are invited to read the book to the class. They are also required to read it loud enough that all can hear. This is an excellent experience for a student at any age to present to a group!

Currently we have a schedule for the students to share their writing if they chose to do so on that day. Starting in March we will have a similar schedule for reading a book. Students will have a day of the week they are invited to read if they want to and are ready. When it is ready I will post the schedule to the blog.

Buddy Reading with Ms. Samuelson's Class

Valentine's Day

The Class had a very nice, fun Valentine's Day! Thank you for sending in their cards without recipient names. This made the passing out of cards so much easier and did not eat up precious classroom time.
The children decorated white bags and we hung them from the counter. All they had to do was pass them out while going down the line.

At the end of the day your child got to go through their bag and look at the cards. They were also allowed to pick two treats to eat. The rest are to go home and they were told to check with you!

I think we are done with any major celebrations now until it is time to celebrate the ending of I Love to Read Month! Phew!
