Our Outdoor Adventure is still scheduled for Tuesday February 7th. We will leave the school at 10:30 and we will be back around 3:00. Thank you to all of the parent volunteers who are able to join us.

The students have been busy writing this week in their journals and in our Friendship books. A Friendship book is where each student writes a few sentences about a memory that they shared with a friend or something positive about them. This week we wrote about Akshan and Karson. Everyone seems very excited about this project!

We started to study compound words this week. We are making a huge list in our classroom. We watched the compound word boogie to get us started! You can watch it here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0X7xMDXmc8

In math we are working on patterns. Some of the words that we have been learning are attribute, element, core, and repeat. We have been making 3-5 element patterns with repeating cores! Search at home to see what kinds of patterns you can find!

Next week:
- Book orders due on February 10th
- A list of names will be going in the agenda for your child to fill out Valentines if they choose.
- Start our Motion and Relative Position unit!!
- Students will get all set up to blog!!
