February 21- March 7

Hello Families! Here are some classroom happenings. Scroll down past this post to see pictures from the Nature Center.

Kid Chat: Valentine's Day was exciting! At our classroom Valentine's party, we had lots of fun seeing all the wonderful gifts we got from our friends. There was a bunch of yummy, yummy food to eat, like strawberries, cupcakes with frosting and sprinkles, string cheese and cookies with candy hearts. At the end, we played Minute to Win It. We had to stack as many candy hearts as we could in one minute. Whoever had the most at the end won. We were very grateful to our friends and families for a great party!
Field Trip- On Tuesday, February 25th, we are headed to Boerner Botanical Gardens for a great presentation on Plants We Eat. This field trip ties in beautifully to our science investigations of Plants. We will only be gone for the morning-we'll return to school for lunch.
Conferences- If a conference was requested by me or you are interested in coming in for a conference, please remember to sign up via the Tonawanda website. Conferences are next week Tuesday and Thursday.
100 Clouds Project- As of Thursday, we have 55 clouds written with a random act of kindness noticed by classmates. While we did not reach our goal of 100 clouds by the 100th day of school, we have extended the challenge through the end of February.
Flat Stanley Project-9 Flat classmates have returned from their trips so far. Here is a photo of our Map to chart where we have traveled.

Ask Your Child:
Is a tomato a fruit? Why or why not?
Has the character Edward Tulane changed in the story The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane?
When reading a nonfiction book, ask "What is the author trying to teach me about the world?"
What are you working on in writing? What are the three rotations?
