Writing our Valentines

Writer's Workshop: This morning we learned about letter writing, and the five parts that each letter needs - date, Dear _____, message, From, and their name. Together we did most of those parts and then students decided who they wanted to address their Valentine to and the message that they would write "I love you." or "Happy Valentine's Day!"

Science: We did a follow-up on habitats today, using four habitats: Jungle, Arctic, Water, and Desert. Student used a list of animals and placed them in the appropriate categories.

Art: We painted paper plates today, using a method of separating it using lines of many types and then filling in the spaces that created with watercolor. These were used to create the body for our dragon, in honor of Chinese New Year.

V.I.P.: Both Yuto (last week's VIP) and Eva (this week's VIP) were able to share their "All About Me" books and get interviewed.

Friday Funday: During Choice time today many students chose to help me to draw, trace and paint a head and tail for the dragon. We put up the dragon and it looks very festive and colorful.
