100 days smarter!

In Math Investigations we learned how to play the game, "Racing Bears". The object of the game was to work with our partners to move the four racing bears to the end of the towers. Ask your student about the game and how we played it in class!











We welcome our UNF intern, Mrs. Kaileigh Deckert. She will be working in our classroom until she graduates in April. We are very excited to have her with us!

On February 3, we celebrated our success from the 2nd nine weeks of school and held a small awards ceremony in our classroom. We were very pleased to announce that each and every child received an award. The students have come such a long way since the beginning of the year and all the success they have shown would not have been possible without the support of our parents. Thank you parents for your continued support!





We are 100 days smarter! We had a fun filled day of celebrating the 100Th day of school on February 5Th. The posters students brought in were extremely creative and it was very evident that the students thoroughly enjoyed making them with family members! While each child shared their poster, we ate our special trail mix made up of 10 different snacks with 10 pieces of each snack. We also celebrated the day by doing other extra special things. Be sure to ask your child about how we celebrated the 100Th day of school. Thank you parents for sending in the treats for our trail mix! :)







Has your child mentioned Jackie Robinson to you at home? Our class is learning about Black History Month by celebrating the life of Jackie Robinson. We've been reading books about him, as well as doing activities and writing reports on him. If you have a chance, come see the Jackie Robinson display we have hanging outside of our classroom.

A new book order will be sent home soon. This book order is very special to us because we are joining the effort to support our troops and their kids! When we place an order from the UNITED WE READ catalog, we'll help donate $1 to the OPERATION PHONE HOME program, which provides prepaid calling cards to our troops overseas. If you have any questions about when book orders are due, feel free to send a note in the agenda.

As always, thank you for all you do for us!

Ms. Ryan & Ms. Burns
