Happy Winter, families!
We have had a busy month and a lot of fun prepping for Winter. Our class researched which holidays (other than Christmas) were in December, and the class collaborated together to make posters to decorate above our lockers. Our classroom has had a lot of discussion about being inclusive and talking about our differences.
I put up new pictures-- Today we were invited to work with Mrs. Kral's classroom and help them learn how to code! I was very impressed with how helpful and responsible our class was. Kids seemed to enjoy the task of teaching the second graders how to play the different coding games.
I also included pictures from our most recent science unit- Levers. We are looking forward to using pulleys after break, and then moving into our final unit, environments.
Looking ahead, we have a field trip coming up on January 16th. We will be going to the U of M campus and learning about Energy. Because it was a free opportunity (they even helped pay for busing!) we couldn't pass it up.
Thank you for continuing to support our classroom! I wish everyone a safe and wonderful break. I am so excited that I get to spend the new year with such a great class :)
