This week, we continue to study the desert habitat with more of a focus on adaptations. We have great nonfiction books to help us do this! We will continue to practice sharing facts from our reading. We will also be making comparisons and connections between texts about the same topic.
The students really seem to be enjoying our shape unit. We continue this week with a focus on flat, 2D shapes. We will discuss their characteristics as well as where we see them in real life.
Our Research Project continues with us diving deeper into our group texts. This week will begin with a focus on their animal’s habitat, including both the living and nonliving things found there.
We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day with some fun stations. Please plan to purchase or make valentines cards for your child to share. There is no need to address the Valentine to any child, just have your child sign the from section and they can pass them out without trying to match names. If they want to write something in the "To:" spot, please have them write friend, pal, or buddy. Thank you for your help. I am looking for one more volunteer to join us to run party stations. If you would like to volunteer to run a station, you would be responsible for overseeing a center activity with 4 kiddos at a time. We will be cycling through the stations at 15 minute intervals. All materials would be provided for you. Our party will be Wednesday, February 14th from 8:15-9:45. HUGE thank you to those who have already volunteered and sent in requested items.
