February 6th - 10th

Thank you for helping to make the 100th day a HUGE success!  We had a great time celebrating. 

We are excited for the Valentine's Day share on Tuesday at 10:15!  Don't forget your camera.

We had a visit from a Mad Scientist on Wednesday.  We learned about measurement and everyone got to take home a pedometer. 

Reading Workshop - Good Readers...
  • go back and reread the title when they finish a book to help them figure out what the book is about

  • use the change in pattern to help tell what the story is about

  • look for patterns in the picture
