Good day!
Hello families, I hope that all have been enjoying our rainy days these past few weeks. The water is always needed. We have had a busy few weeks. We have been working on an AgFair project doing research on different fruit plants from our island. Math has moved from adding and subtracting along with probability to multiplications with arrays, skip counting and grouping. Reading buddies started and we have met two times with Mrs. Lake and Ms. Jasmine's students. Ask your child about their new little friend.
We also had a fun celebration for Michael's birthday with pizza and brownies.
Looking forward to celebrating this upcoming Friday an early Valentine's day. Students are welcome to bring valentine cards for classmates - please make sure that all receive one as we do not want to leave anyone out - "give to one, give to all". Students can bring in boxes or containers to decorate.
Class list: Kitami, Amira, Quin, Milo, Ares, Timothy, Angelica, Indigo, Ayat, Lujain, Isla, Destiny, Zayn, Michael, Rodney, Zaina
