Highlights

In Math we started learning how to describe shapes.  For example, a triangle has 3 straight lines and 3 corners (or vertices).  We also started a spelling assessment and will continue to work on this throughout the week.  In Science we learned how polar animals stay warm.

Important Information

A class messenger was sent out on the weekend with the first names of students in our class (if your child would like to give Valentine cards on Feb. 14).  If you did not receive the school messenger email, please contact the office to update, or add your email address to our system.  Thanks!
