Hi Families!
We've had a really fun few weeks in our classroom with a lot going on! Thanks to all the parents and families who have been helping with the events of the past few weeks.
We celebrated our 100th day of school this past week! We spent the morning doing many fun centers exploring the number 100 with writing, math, and exercise! Thanks to all the parents who helped their kids find great costumes to celebrate with! 
We celebrated Valentine's Day on Friday by doing some graphing with some conversation hearts, decorating our Valentine bags and passing out goodies. %2Bcopy.jpg)
In science, we've been having a lot of fun investigating chemical reactions, and seeing how matter can change. We have done several experiments looking for evidence of a chemical reaction, such as bubbling, color change or light. Glow sticks, pennies with vinegar and salt, and baking soda and vinegar combing to fill up a balloon are all great examples of this. 
Also thanks to everyone who was able to make it to Science Night on Thursday! I had a great time making slime and seeing everyone enjoying the fun activities. 
Thank you to everyone who sent in donation money for Pennies for Patients! We had a great time wearing hats, bringing stuffed animals, or skipping homework for the week for a great cause! 
Stella is growing quickly, and we've been having a great time observing her as she changes. Our students do a great job with her in the classroom.
Also, please don't forget to go vote on Survey Monkey for when you would like to have our Family Literacy Celebration! I would love to have as many parents there as possible. There is a link in the post right below this!
Thanks for reading! The secret code word to tell your student is... BANANA! Tell them to tell me this word in the morning, and I'll give them a sticker!
