We've had a surprisingly busy week! Our math penguin unit is coming to a close and this week everyone drew, painted and cut out a life-size penguin! Many are hanging in the hall outside our classroom and several are hanging in our classroom. Ask your child to tell you about his/her penguin!
Today we had a school-wide assembly to kick off our "I Love to Read" reading celebration. February is "I Love to Read" month and HCS has an annual celebration with a variety of activities. Today I sent home a reading log to be filled in each day until the 24th when all forms are due back at school. During an afternoon assembly, all entries will be in a huge box and a winner will be chosen and given a prize! Each day next week, a book trivia question will be asked during morning announcements and students may enter their answer and a winner will be chosen from all correct answers. As well, each child will have the opportunity to design a bookmark. The winning bookmark at each grade level will be copied and distributed in the library! It's a very exciting week to celebrate books and reading!
One special highlight from our week was a Thursday visit from a group of public speaking students at CVU. Their first assignment was to learn a poem and then perform it for our class! The poems were silly, children's poems and our class LOVED them! They loved them so much, that after a little encouragement from me, several students memorized a poem to perform for our class! I will videotape them and then post them for you to see! The first poet performance is Griffin and his video link is below! Very exciting!
Have a great weekend!
