Friendship & Fun

Amidst our ISAT preparations and our everyday writing, reading, and math lessons, we still find time for friendship and fun!

We met with our buddies on Friday, National Friendship Day, and wrote recipes for friendships and made a cut-out of a friend. What makes a good friendship? See the thoughtful recipes below to find out!

Bare Books were due last week. I am so impressed by all the books. They were all so unique, well thought out, and well-written. It was exciting to listen to the young authors share their books about dogs, magic tricks, presidents, penguins, fish, Disney Land, martians, and more!

Nicholas was the Virtual Field Trip Planner last week. He took us to to New York City! He made a very organized itinerary.
Alan was the Star of the Week. His survey is coming soon!

A Lovebugly Week!

This week, we celebrated many things including 100th Day, Abraham Lincoln's Birthday, and Valentine's Day! On 100th Day, we did 100 exercises and wore 100th Day stickers. We are reading a new chapter book as a class, Frindle by Drew Clements. It is a story about a boy who makes up a new word for pen, frindle. His word spreads throughout his school and town. We can't wait to find out how it ends!
On Friday, we met with our Fourth Grade Buddies. With them, we made love bug headbands and animals out of hearts.

Love Bugs!

Triplet Love Bugs!

The Second and Third Graders took some time this week decorating their Valentine's bags. They went crazy with paper hearts, tissue paper hearts, doilies, and stickers galore! Look how adorable their bags turned out!

And the lovely bags were filled with....

lots of thoughtful, heartfelt Valentines!

On Friday, we celebrated our Valentine's Day Party! Our party was complete with a fondue station, a heart picture frame craft, a famous couples matching game, and time to write sweet notes on hearts for our classmates!

A huge thank you to our party volunteers.

We couldn't have had such a wonderful party without your help!

Friday was also Abraham Lincoln's Birthday. A few girls worked hard on this great banner in honor of him!

Ava asked the class her survey question this week. She wanted to know which High School Musical character her classmates like best. See the results to find out who the favorite HSM character is!

Luke planned a field trip to Antarctica! His made this cool diorama with clay!
