The students had a great first week back by participating in the fun run.  Students came in ready with their magnificent t-shirts ready to show their banks best.  Thank you to the volunteers for helping with t-shirts, supporting our runners and to Mrs. Wood (Lillie's mom) and Mrs. Gregory (Drew's mom) for decorating our door.  The kids had a blast and really did a great job in getting pledges.  Students shared how they went out to get pledges and also heard stories of students emptying their piggy banks to donate to our school.  Now that shows a lot of our character traits!  We are still collecting pledges, it is not to late.  We are in 4th place and could easily move up with some more pledges.  I know the class would love to win one of the celebrations.
The past two weeks we have been busy starting our new science unit animals two by two.  We started with pill bugs and sow bugs.  The kids are very excited but it seems I have some compettion.  They really liked our in house science field trip and I told them that  experience would be hard to beat.  In reading and writing we are working on reading and writing nonfiction about animals.  They are doing a great job getting all the facts down.  In math we started working on partners of 10.  Have students practice adding and subtracting to 10 fluently.  Thank you again for all your help and support!!!
