💯 We celebrated 100 days with many different activities! We read several books about 100 things, completed a 100 chart, used 100 cups to build different structures, wrote 100 rhyming words, used 100 drops of water for a science experiment, created crowns, and counted 100 objects many times! Your child is bringing home a special 100th day treat to enjoy as you talk about all the activities!

🦁 Wow! The whole school reached over 6,000 paw tickets and was able to celebrate with an all school Minute-to-Win-it challenge! We loved testing our skills in just one minute. Ask your child about their penny stacking abilities and what their favorite minute game was and why.

     

🎉 We have also filled our own class jar again, and will celebrate on Monday, February 10th with a pajama day! Please be sure to help your child pick a set of pajamas that will keep them comfy throughout our entire day. Thank you!

🍎 If you would like to donate a snack option to our class we would love the new options! We are at the bottom of our last snack options and will be needing some replenishing soon. Thank you so much for your continued support in providing our friends with healthy and tasty choices!!

🏡 Student council has passed out Ronald McDonald houses for each class to use for collecting can tabs (such as those on pop cans, bubbly water cans, and so on). We will collect these through the remainder of the year. Your child may bring the tabs in as they are used or collect some in a baggy and then bring the baggy in. Through this collection, we will be able to help support the wonderful efforts of the Ronald McDonald House. Thank you for your participation!

😊 Winter conferences are upon us! If you have not signed up for a conference slot yet, please click the link to do so. I look forward to meeting with all of you!

🥞 On Wednesday, February 12th we will celebrate Abe Lincoln's birthday with an all school pancake day! This is a tradition at Lincoln that all enjoy! There will be stations where the students and a volunteer guardian will make the pancakes and tables set up for the students to enjoy their creations after!

💕 Friday, February 14th we will celebrate Valentine's Day. The kiddos are very excited for this celebration that will be filled with fun activities and a celebration and passing of valentines at the end of the day. If your child is bringing special valentines, please be sure you have enough for all in the class (21 students). I will have paper bags for the students to decorate- if your child wants a box or container, it will need to come from home. Thank you!

  

📚 This Wednesday was World Read Aloud Day! We had a few special guests read us some of their favorite book choices. Many of the stories focused on characters and how we can understand their thoughts, actions and feelings. Continue the joy of World Read Aloud Day at home with your own favorite stories!

🔢 We continued our work with teen numbers in math this week (11-20). We looked at how we can identify them, split them into ten and some more, what one or two more or less would be, and how we can show these numbers in different ways (using ten frames, drawing pictures, writing equations, and using mathematical words! We also looked at numbers all the way to 100 on Friday with all of our celebrations! Keep encouraging your child at home by finding numbers in the world around them. Ask them questions of how they know, what they could show, and what is more/less, or even creating/solving an equation with these numbers.
