It was wonderful seeing so many parents at the performance last night. It was our best show yet. This is an unique opportunity for children to work together, learning songs, dances, and memorizing lines to perform in front of an audience.
We would like to especially thank our parents who helped on the costumes, backdrop, and other behind the scenes events. It makes it so easy for us to just concentrate on the students, knowing it will be taken care of. We hope it helped you build new relationships with other families at Portal.
What have we done this week:
- Penguin unit: We build a new game matching numbers, using base ten blocks. We also learned about the beloved Little Blue penguin. Ask your child where the Little Blue penguin lives. We are collecting our research to send home at the end of the penguin unit.
- In language arts , we continued to use our Step Up to Writing program to write about our friends in class. The students are learning about green - topic sentence, yellow - details, and red - examples. We are also adding transition words to our writing. We are gathering the writing samples each week to send home in a nice book at the end of the year. It will be a great way to measure your child's growth.
- We celebrated President Lincoln's birthday this week. We also got read to celebrate President George Washington's birthday too.
- For Valentine's day we read and wrote poems about friendship, learned about special valentine animals, and played some word games.
- Don't forget: We also put on two performances of our play at school.
No school February 16-20th. See you on February 23rd.
