The Toucan Squawk, Feb. 18 - 22

Hello families...I hope everyone has had a great week!  The kiddos are almost finished with their unit on measurement.  We worked on capacity and unit conversions, quizzing on unit conversions today.  The class will take a test on the entire unit tomorrow.

The class has also been working extra hard on finishing the "bubble gum writing" they started last week.  Most of the projects are finished, and those that aren't finished will complete them tomorrow.  They have also been working super hard on finishing up their research on their biography writing.  Many students have been struggling putting the paragraph together, so we've been working hard at finding the information in their research and writing everything out in their own words.  This can be really hard, particularly since this is a social studies topic based on fact.  Mostly everyone has turned in their sloppy copies and are ready to start writing out their finals.  Mrs. Sullins came in our class and presented her presentation as author Laura Ingalls Wilder.  This was a great chance for everyone to see exactly what we're looking for when everyone presents their final presentation.  She also reminded the class about their costume- which does not need to be something you need to spend money on.  We discussed today that their costume can be something put together using clothing and other items from home- old clothing, for example.  The students will also be responsible for bringing in a prop to go with their presentation- to exemplify who their person was.
