In Jesus time we read about the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000. We know that God gives us all that we need for our physical bodies. For our spiritual needs God gives us forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life, through Jesus. We also learned that sharing with others as the little boy did is something that God wants us to do. The PM class had a terrific time at their Valentine's Party on Tuesday. We enjoyed playing the Hidden Heart game and w of George e had fun sorting hearts also. As at our AM class party last Friday we had delicious goodies to eat. Thank you to the families who always make our parties delicious treats. On Friday the AM class also celebrated their 100th day of school. They stuck 100 smiley faces on a 100 grid. We then set out Fruit Loops on another 100 grid and used those 100 fruit loops to make a necklace. It was a lot of work because we were able to see what a big number 100 is actually.
In both classes we read about Umbrellabird's Umbrella. We also found out that there are really Umbrellabirds that live in tropical rainforests. We glued pictures of underwear on our upper and lower case U's. We also read a book called Underwear. It was very funny. We realized that it was a fiction book because the animals were all wearing underwear and we know that animals to not really wear underwear. We also did some really tricky cutting as we cut out the silhouettes of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Mrs. Person helped some of us cut around the mouth and nose areas but we all cut out the rest. We made a poster of the silhouettes and some information we were discussed. We have been working more on the Kindle Fire apps and we have also been working on the desktop using the website Starfall. We are trying to take more pictures of the things we are doing and putting them on the Shutterfly website. If you have any grandparents that would like to see the website they can send me an email and I will be glad to include them in the website's official email list.
New fish have arrived in our fish tank. They seem happy and are swimming around and around. Hopefully they will be living happily in our tank for a long time.
I hope you all enjoy the vacation week. I will miss everyone.
Parents, you can still order books on the Scholastic books website until February 22!
The week we return from vacation is going to be a busy week.

Every teacher is giving students Preschool through 6th grade information that will allow them access to a wonderful world of books through www.raz-kids.com because our school has subscribed to the online library of reading material. Raz-Kids helps students improve their reading skills as they listen to a book read for modeled fluency. Then, if the computer has a built-in record function, they can record themselves reading the same book. Or, students can read the book to themselves or aloud for practice. Interactive quizzes are available at the end of each book to check for understanding. The students should receive a username and password to access this website. The books in your child's assignment and stars earned appear on a personal assignment page. Your child can choose to listen, read, or take a quiz by clicking on the symbols below each book. There are even worksheets to do. The teachers can check during the Summer to see how each student is progressing.
Remember, the more your child reads, the better reader he or she will become!
