Dear parents,
Happy ending of January!
Did you like the books from the publishing party three weeks ago? Write a comment to us on our blog and tell us what you thought! Now we're writing folktales and fairytales. We chose classic stories like The Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, Cinderella, etc. and we are changing the characters to write the story in our own way.
In math class today we practiced writing numbers from 1 to 100. Some students got past 100!
Next week we start drama class with Kelli. We are SO excited!

What have we been doing for TWO weeks?
Good morning, readers!
In Writing Workshop we are studying folktales and fairytales. Today, Friday, we read folktales and fairytales with parents visiting for Family Friday and we put post-it notes on the parts that sounded the most like a fairytale or folktale. Parents, we want to tell you that we've been doing things that we haven't done before. This is the first time we studied fairtales and folktales.
We got something new for the class, a Rekenrek. It has beads on it, ten white beads and ten red beads. We use it for math.
We hope you like it when the school store opens. It's a place you can buy something for a dollar or less. Some of the kids from our school run the school store.
We had no school on Martin Luther King day. We hope you had a good day celebrating Martin Luther King day.
Good bye.

See what we're up to this week!
Dear families,
Happy new year! Feliz ano nuevo!
Today we had a publishing party. We wrote nonfiction reports about these community places: Pet Store, Hospital, Police Station, Fire Station, Music School, Museum of Natural History, and Supermarket. This morning our parents, some teachers and brothers and sisters visited to read our books. Today we had Audrey's pre-K class to visit, and they checked out our reports too. We made collage covers for our books.
We are reading Stuart Goes to School by Sara Pennypacker for a read aloud. Stuart is a third grader who worries a lot. He has a magic cape. Whenever he wishes something, it comes true. But not in the way he wants! We really like the book.
We are doing subtracting now in math. We are having a good time with our math workbooks and subtraction games.
