Week of January 19th

This week we learned all about Martin Luther King Jr.  We read some books and a Scholastic News with information about him.  We then wrote about what we wish we could do in the world to make it a better place.  Check out some of the photos below that show some examples of our work.  They are also on a bulletin board in the hallway that you can check out if you are in school.

We also had a visit this week from a parent who came in to tell us about some items in our everyday life that originated or happen in France.  We got to taste a baguette with olive oil which is a type of bread from France.  She also showed us pictures of some Farmer's Markets that she visited when she was in France that were similar to the one we have right here in Shelburne.  The children enjoyed the baguette and the special oil she brought in to dip the bread in:)

In math we have started a new unit on Geometry.  This week we learned about some two dimensional shapes, the rectangle, triangle and hexagon.  We learned that their are different attributes that define a shape and some that do not define a shape such as sizes and colors.  We will continue with geometry over the next couple of weeks.

In Writing we continue to work on our Teaching books.  Next week we will look at editing some of those books.

Have a wonderful weekend,
Nancy
