Wow we had so much to celebrate today in our class! We held our SPCA school fundraiser assembly today and presented lots of items in support of the SPCA. We also won the Dynamo Dragon Class of the month award. Yes there is more, we also won a pizza party for being the top fundraising class in K-2 for our fundraiser. We would also like to thank T.J's mom and grandmother who made specialty muffins on behalf of Patty Cakes and donated them to the entire school in support of our fundraiser. Thanks so much for your amazing kindness! Thanks again to all of you for supporting this great project, it was a lot of fun!

Gretna Green is celebrating career day on Friday. So we thought we would create some videos of some possible career choices. We have created some "Who Am I" videos that will be featured on morning announcements this week. Let's see if you can guess the profession that is being described in these videos. Good luck!

Happy Monday!
It is the last week of January and it looks like the weather might be warming up a bit! Hopefully we will be going outside again at lunch time, so please ensure that your child is properly dressed for the chilly weather! We are introducing a new sight word: “and”. When you are reading with your child, please ask them if they can find the world “and” on the page. Also, poetry books with a brand new poem will be sent home on Wednesday. Please read this poem with your child and have them show you how to write the word “and”. In Math, we are learning all about “Comparing Lengths”. “Short and Tall” and “Long and Short.” Check your childs home folder for some worksheets and fun crafts! I will also add a “weblink” to this page to allow you to play a game with your child at home to see if they can show you the difference between short and tall. We are still learning all about The 5 Senses. We have been introduced to: Smell, Taste, Hearing and this week, we will learn about Sight. A fun game to play at home would be "I Spy". You could also put a blindfold over your childs eyes and have them carefully navigate around a room to see what the world without our sense of sight would be like.
Have a marvelous week!!!
