We are now well into February. The school year is more than half way over already! The kids are learning about measurement in math (both metric and customary). They just finished learning about the ocean in science and are now back into social studies. This unit is about how Wisconsin became a state. In writing, they are finishing their ocean animal reports and working on their pen pal letters to students in Spain.
All classes in our school are beginning to focus on learning key vocabulary words that all students need to know to be successful. The kids study 5 important vocabulary terms each week. After 3 weeks, they will be tested on their knowledge of the words.
This week is spirit week. Monday was hippie day, Tuesday was hat day, today is sports day, tomorrow is music day, and Friday is school color day. On Friday, we will be having a small Valentine's day celebration. The children are able to bring Valentines to hand out to the class if they would like. A pink sheet was sent home yesterday with all of the students names on it. Also, on Friday afternoon, the students will attend the faculty vs. student basketball game, which is always a great time!
