100 Days!

We hope everyone had a great long weekend and family day!
Our poem this week is called "100th Day of Poem". Our sight words are: ride, black, must, well 
These are the last sight words of our 2nd list. Please continue to practice all of our sight words. We will be handing out our 3rd and last list during March student led conferences!
Today we worked more on "doubles" in math. We are learning to remember number facts quickly and automatically. We played a game called "Doubles Aren't Trouble" to help reinforce these math facts. 
In class, we also use the website ABCYA for some quick math games and activities. You can access this at home too. The students love playing these little games to help support their mathematical learning.

This afternoon we went up on stage and practiced our song for our concert this week! We are so excited to show you our Sugar Plum dance. This afternoon a package came for us! It was freezing cold and had snow on it! It came all the way from the North Pole! We opened it up and it was an Elf! We will learn what our Elf's name is tomorrow!

Then, we drew pictures of a time that we thought something was hard but had to persevere to accomplish it. We drew before and after pictures of what it looks and feels like to persevere!
