The Toucan Squawk, Feb. 28th - Mar. 5th

Hello families!  I hope everyone had a great weekend.  The students are completing St. Patrick's day-related art crafts for our bulletin board.  So far, a St. Patrick's Day pot stewing up some good luck puzzle shamrocks.  They are currently working on coloring leprechans, which will be cut out and posted on the bulletin board as well.  It's turning out really cute, and I'll definietly have to post a picture of it when it's completed. 

The students completed their unit on contractions, so it will continue to pop up in their homework every now and then.  We will be moving on to a review of previously introduced concepts for the rest of the week, and then move on to a new unit.  In math, the students have completed their unit on graphing and have moved on to unknown numbers in a pattern.  It's a concept students have been introduced to in 1st grade, as well as earlier in the year.  For students who have grasped the concept, they will be completing challenge work.  The students read a story about fossils last week, and are reading another story about fossils.  This week's story is different, as it is a Time for Kids Special Report.  Both stories proved to be fun for the students to read, and they have been great segways for a future science unit.  Below are the spelling words, they are words from social studies.         

1. bone
2. drill
3. ocean
4. stone
5. deep
6. hill
7. oil
8. digging
9. land
10. remains
