The Frog Class

FROG NEWS: Happy Valentine's Day!   The students celebrated 100th day and Valentine's day this week.  We celebrated in a lot of different ways.  The students were able to glue 100 beads to a poster, write a book,  (My Mother Has Told Me 100 Times...), they played at the valentine factory and had a whole lot more fun!  After vacation, we will be adding to our math homework.  We will begin practicing our math facts through 5.  A letter and the materials will be sent home after vacation.  Be on the look out! I have added pictures to Flikr.  They are of the kids enjoying the 100th day of school and playing in the snow.     Language Arts:     We worked on proper formation of all letters introduced.  I am still finding  a lot of children starting from the bottom.  We also continued to work on our reading strategies.  We have learned good readers use a lot of different tools when they read.     Math:   The Frogs celebrated the 100th day of school.  We shared our collections of 100, did 100 exercises and kept silent for100 seconds.  It was an exciting day in the Frog  room.   Art:     We made mobiles and valentine crafts with paint and glitter.   Social Studies:  The students worked in the post office this week.     Book of the Week:  Junie B.
