***We have continued to work hard to learn about squirrels for our IIM research project. We have finished all of our research and are almost done with our posters for our presentations to the other first grade classes. On Tuesday your Leapfrog will choose a section of their research to become an expert on and that will be their part in the presentation. They will be bringing home a copy of their part on Tuesday so they can practice at home and feel confident when speaking in front of the other classes.
*** We will be exchanging cards at our Valentine celebration on February 12th. Be sure that your leapfrog has made (or store-bought) a valentine for all of their classmates! The class will decorate their own bags to hold their Valentine's on Monday. You can start bringing in your cards on Monday, Feb.8th.
*** We are pleased to announce that the Lofaro Publishing Company has opened for business this month and we have already published 45 books with many more in the works! Be sure and come by room 216 and check out our great authors.
***Be sure to check out all of the opportunities to come into the classroom for the second half of the year. We always need math game volunteers and celebrity readers. We hope to be starting our robolab activities in the early spring so keep watching the website for when you can sign up to come in and help out! Sign up early so you won't miss out!
