Here's a few highlights from this past week!
First, of all, a HUGE thank you to all the parents who helped raise money for Laps for Lincoln. Our class raised over $800 for the Walk-a-Thon, and our kids did a great job running their hardest despite the rainy, chilly weather. This event is such a wonderful fundraiser and our students really enjoy it. 
On Monday, we used our clickers to vote on what our next party will be when we fill our marble jar again. This time we decided on a popcorn party! I have a feeling it won't be too long until we earn this one! :) 
Another big thank you to all you parents who helped your student find numbers for the Numbers Museum! We had so much fun going around the room and finding all the things numbers are used for in real life. Those numbers you collected will stay up all year long to help us remember why are learning to add, subtract, measure and all the other things we do. 
This week, we also started our first science unit! This unit is all about properties of matter, and we will be doing lots of fun experiments to help us understand and experience the phases of matter. We get into some pretty advanced stuff- even talking about the molecules in different forms of matter and how they move. Be sure to ask your student what they know about solids, liquids, and gases as the weeks go on, I think you'll be impressed by what they are finding out!  |
