Week in Review - November 21st

Happy Friday!


Below you will find the link to view our Week in Review. 


This week we had a very special visitor in our classroom. Bob has written his very first book and he came to room 220 to share it with us! 




Students also worked hard on exploring the United States on a virtual road trip! If your student would like to share the road trip with you at home you can view it by clicking here




This week we also had some 1st grade friends share some information about our new Buddy Bench at Barretts. The Gummy Bears learned how we can use this to make friends at recess. 

Here's the student who created the Buddy Bench featured on the Today Show. 

For more information on the Buddy Bench check out http://buddybench.org/.

Week In Review - November 14th

Take a look at our Week In Review by clicking here

We had a very busy week in Room 220. 

We celebrated Veteran's Day on Tuesday, November 11th. Take a look at those pictures here.

As we wrapped up our Changes unit in Science the students worked hard to create a lapbook that we called Matter Really Matters. We had a great time reviewing all of the things we learned throughout our unit and learning a new song about matter. 






Many of you may have also seen the review homework that the students completed with links from the blog. I would love it if you'd take a moment and complete a quick survey so I can get some feedback from you. 


We also shared our turkeys. Here are some of the creative turkeys disguises we came up with!








Reminders:

November 26-28 - Thanksgiving Break

Enjoy your weekend!
