Dear families,
We are working on a social studies unit studying life in the country and on farms. Next month our drama teacher, Kelli, is going to come work with our class to do a drama and social studies project with us about this study!
This week on Monday was the 100th day of school. We counted 100 objects, drew pictures of 100, and made more counting strips starting at 1 and writing up to 100 or above!
We're also studying nonfiction, reading books and writing down nonfiction facts on post-it notes. Yesterday we finished our collection of 100 nonfiction facts! We learned these facts about topics like animal life, water life, mammals, plant life and other science topics. This morning parents who visited for Family Friday helped us write even more facts. Maybe we'll get to 200!
In math we're doing surveys. We wrote our own survey questions and asked everyone in the class. Some surveys were: Which do you like better, numbers or letters? and Would you rather explore deep sea or outer space? We're already pretty much experts on surveys because we do one almost every morning for part of Morning Meeting. We're going to ask YOU a survey now. Look to the right on this blog and please take our survey. We'll be checking back to see how many people answered it!
Next week is February vacation. See you on February 28th!

I would rather explore the deep sea because I am scared of heights and space is pretty high up!
ReplyDeleteI would rather explore space because there is so much to see and not too many people have been there. Does anyone in the class want to be an astronaut? I bet it would be fun to ride in a rocket ship.
