Weekly Wrap Up

Dear families,
Thank you so much for all your help at the Valentine's Day party and for sending in snacks and treats! The kids had a lot of fun. You can look at our twitter feed to the right and see some pictures!

Next week, there is no school on Monday. Enjoy your President's Day! Specials will be Music, Art, Library Checkout, and PE (in that order, Tuesday-Friday).

The following week is Conference Week! There are confirmation notes in your child's Friday Folder today. Please confirm that you received the note and are aware of your conference time (or mark that you need a new time) and send it back with your child on Tuesday! Thank you.

We will also be going on a short field trip that week! I haven't even told the kids yet... We will be going to Rock Bridge High School to visit the Planetarium on Tuesday, February 24th in the morning. It will not interfere with specials (it's a D day so we have Art in the afternoon) or lunch that day (the question many kids will ask!).

I will be submitting the book order tomorrow. If your order is meant to be a surprise, please let me know and I will contact you when the order comes in.

Have a wonderful weekend! Keep reading to read about what we did in class this week!

Dear Mill Creek Families,
     This week our class had a 100 No Excuse spelling test. We also had a multiplication test.
 We read chapters of “The Lemonade War” by Jacqueline Davies.  Miss Baxter read us “The House on Dirty-Third Street”  for the Show-Me Awards.
      Today we played around the world with multiplication facts. Also in math, we learned about geometry, different types of triangles, obtuse angles, acute angles, and right angles.
     In science, our class took turns going to the hallway doing an experiment. One person held the push-pull meter, one person let go of the weight, and one person kept track of how far it went, and wrote it down.
      In music, we learned a type of music called soundpainting. We played different instruments at different times and it sounded pretty.
     We also went to the computer lab to work on our informational writing.

Sincerely,

   Michaela
