Week in Review
Thank you all for your kind words and patience while I was home sick. I'm incredibly thankful for this snowy weather because I wouldn't have been able to be back with your kids until tomorrow (Thursday) anyway! 

Having said that, here is a very teeny tiny look back at what the kids did while I was there (they certainly did more with our wonderful sub who took over for me!)

In math, we began studying the rules of measurement with nonstandard measurement. 
We discussed:

  • measurement goes end to end
  • you must measure in a straight line
  • and you must identify the tool you are using to measure!
To help us understand these ideas, we practiced measuring in many ways and read this silly book:




  
 




In Language, we started to discuss Adjectives!


In Writing, we continued talking about opinion. By the end of the week, your child might have watched a video about Martin Luther King Jr. and shared their opinion of why they do/do not think students should learn about MLK Jr. Here's a wonderful video (that your kids have not had the chance to watch)


Have a FABULOUS week! (And stay healthy!)
