Snowmen, Spring Creek, DEAR week, Contractions

We had a very busy week! We read about snowmen, wrote about snowmen, our poetry was "The Snowman" and we enjoyed a special snowman donut snack. We also learned about contractions with "not." Check out the video below.

We celebrated a January birthday on Friday!! 

We also enjoyed wearing our winning Spring Creek shirts on Friday! We looked AWESOME!! 

This week has also been DEAR week (drop everything and read). Friday we read with our 3rd grade book buddies and got to listen to a guest reader with her dog Cassidy. The kids loved it!

Last but not least we had exciting news... A student in our class had perfect attendance from the first semester so her name went into a drawing and she won a bicycle!!!

Happy New Year

Happy 2014! We have been busy the last two weeks and 2014 is off to a great start! We wrote about our New Year Resolutions.

Last week we also worked on greater than, less than symbol. We talked about the symbol being like an alligator and chomping on the biggest number...we did an activity using a "real life alligator."

We also had two students who got to take a friend with them to eat on the stage for being selected from best bronco ticket drawing.

We want to wish a happy birthday to our two December birthdays!
