February News
Hello Everyone,
We can tell that the weather has changed and some are wishing for an early spring. Our class has been busy with holding spelling bees and getting our representatives chosen for the spelling bee. Our representatives were Trygve, Kiana, Amanda J., Jacob V., and Sugey. Congratulations to the five for going on to the school bee. Congratulations to Trygve and Jacob for continuing to the next level.
We have now finished our session for MAPs assessment for winter and the writing prompt. I am proud of how the students all worked and put their best effort into their work.
In Reading, we have just finished reading the Rosa Parks story and were able to see a video about Rosa Parks' life. The students were very touched by the story and realized how far we have come in treating everyone with respect. We are now beginning to work in literature circles in reading. Please ask the students about the book they are reading.
We have been very lucky to be reading the newspaper on Tuesdays and Thursdays for 5 weeks. Our focus has been on the Abraham Lincoln story but of course we take time to read the comics and other articles. We would like to thank Viterbo University and Western TC for sponsoring our paper on February 12th in honor of Lincoln's birthday. It is a nice way to teach reading skills.
Our class will have a friendship party on Friday, February 13th in the afternoon.
There is no school on Friday, February 20th.
Have a great day!
Ms. Hagen
