It has been a much better week! We weren't quite "strike-free", but it was very close! We have been having such a great time learning about Kenya and creating our frieze! We have finished our setting this week - we have sky, dirt roads (with real dirt on them!), rivers, grasslands, trees and bushes and cliffs (with real rocks!). It looks fantastic! Next week we will be focusing on the animals we may find on the Maasai Mara game reserve! We will be creating paper animals and clay animals. We will also be doing research and writing an animal report. In writing, we will also be learning and writing different types of poetry that will focus on the African animals! Next week will be a very busy week!
We are also getting ready for Valentine's Day! I will be adding a link to our blog that will have our class list on it. If your child chooses to do Valentine's, then I will ask that all students are included! We will be getting our Valentine's pockets ready this next week using the milk jugs that were brought in. Thank you so much - we now have plenty!
Please make sure to remind your child to bring in January's homework! I am still missing quite a few!
I hope you all have a great weekend...enjoy the Super Bowl!
