Making Memories

Last week was filled with lots of memory-making moments. We did a great job fulfilling our duty as citizens by leading the Pledge of Allegiance during assembly. We practiced programming skills in the library with some Bug-Bots.

We've been busy as chronologists measuring time and solidifying our understanding of analog clocks. In science, we've been hydrologists studying the water cycle. We celebrated the end of our week with a disco ball and a dance party.

More fun and learning to come!

Farewell, February!

These final days of February seemed to fly by! 

This week, we focused on mindfulness and talked about ways to be fully present. During a lesson with Ms. Fraser, we enjoyed the opportunity to walk the labyrinth. We focused on placing one foot in front of the other and just being in the moment.

We wrapped up our subtraction regrouping unit and have been working hard to apply strategies that we've learned over the past few weeks. We will continue to practice regrouping with both addition and subtraction as we add new concepts to our mathematician toolboxes.

March will be a busy month--between leading the Pledge, Hero Projects, a field trip, and spring break, we will be movin' and groovin'!

Enjoy the weekend,

Mrs. Blake
