Valentine's Buddy Activity

Last week we did a Valentine's Day activity with our kindergarten buddies. The students worked with their buddies to sort candy hearts by color. Then they made a bar graph of their colors. We then compiled the individual bar graphs into a giant classroom bar graph. The fourth graders did a great job of helping their buddies. Pictured in the top photo are Karlee and her buddy. The bottom photo shows Riley with his buddy.

Sandwich Book Reports

Last week I assigned the students a book report. Each student has their book for the report and has already started reading the book. They are making their report in the form of a sandwich. On each part of the sandwich, they must report on one aspect of the book. For example, on the lettuce they need to describe the book's setting. Book reports will be due on February 17. This is an independent project, and most of the work will need to be completed outside of school. Please encourage your child to tell you about the book they are reading and show you the sandwich as they are working on it.
