Peek at the Week of February 3-7


This will be a fun week of school! 


Day 100
Day 100 of school is this Wednesday, February 5th.  First graders are putting on a parade for the whole school in the morning.  We will be dressed up as 100 year old grandmas and grandpas.  A notice went home about this 2 weeks ago. 


The Shadows Know
A scientist from High Tech High Touch will be coming to our class to do some science experiments on Wednesday afternoon. 


Writing Workshop
We continue to work on writing reviews of movies, restaurants, books, etc. We have been having a great time sharing our opinions with each other.  This week we will make our writing even better by learning how to end


Reading Workshop
We continue to do 'character work'.  Some of the topics we have been talking about:
-main vs. supporting characters
