Valentine Exchange
February 14
We will celebrate Valentine's Day on February 14th. Our celebration will be low-key. Students will exchange Valentine cards and
enjoy a small snack.
In order to make sure everyone feels as special as they are, we
are requiring that if your child chooses to pass out valentines, they bring one
valentine for each person in our class. Please
do not have your child address the valentines to each individual student.
Instead just have them sign the From: part of the card. It is easier to
just drop a valentine in each bag verses finding the correct bag for each
child. Students will be provided with an
envelope for Valentine collection. This is optional.
Thank
you!
Mrs.
Butzin and Mrs. Frishman

Language Arts:
In writer’s workshop, we
are gearing up for persuasive and opinion writing. To prepare, we are reading
opinion articles in class to understand how an author works to convince others
of what he/she wants them to think, feel, believe, or do. In reader's workshop, we are learning to take
charge of our own comprehension. Finally, in our independent reading
time, we are using all of our reading skills to help us improve our reading
stamina. We are working hard!
Social
Studies:
We are busy in our unit on
Government. Right now we are talking
about what a government does and why we need one. From there we will move into our Three
Branches of Government. The kids are
already reminding us of things we learned in Lansing!
Science:
Our science unit is on
Energy. We are learning about potential
and kinetic energy and what makes energy change. We are also going to study the various forms
of energy.
***Often we post things on our class SeeSaw accounts as well on
our Google Classroom accounts. Ask your child to show you what he/she has
done so far!
