Hello families and friends,

This morning we started with two rounds of Daily 5; one round of word work or writing and one round of reading.  Then in gym we continued doing some tumbling.  We also added a new station for juggling and we had to add one balance to our tumbles to make a sequence.  We each had an opportunity to work at three different stations.  After gym we imagined a character in our head and we had to describe it to our partner and they had to draw it out from our description.  Then we created a new imaginary character and started planning some writing about it.  Ask your child what they came up with.

This afternoon we started working with shapes.  We created the shapes with Play-Doh.  We made triangles, squares, circles, and rectangles.  Then at the end of the day, we continued our look at polar bears.

For parents: where is somewhere that polar bears live? Post your answer in the comments below.

Next Fun Lunch is Wednesday, January 28th.

If there are any students who were not receiving the milk program for the first part of the year, and would like to get it for the rest of the year, those forms need to be sent in A.S.A.P.

Have a great afternoon,
Room 74 and Mr. Soulliere
