Step Up Day!

It was certainly an exciting Friday with Step Up Day!  This morning students each wrote letters to their third grade teachers to share about their interests, hobbies, learning goals, and how they learn best in school.  These were passed along to their new teachers at Step Up Day!  A letter will come home today confirming their next year's teacher.
Today we also wrote thank you cards to our classroom/school volunteers, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Asher.
Yesterday first and second grade students experienced four wonderful presentations for Career Day!  We learned about being a civil engineer, Spanish teacher, land surveyor, and a member of the military. A big thanks to Senor Dunn for teaching us some great Spanish songs!

Career Day tied in nicely to our current social studies unit about community!  We're learning about urban and rural communities, community helpers, and places in the community.

Our class has been very engaged in the online math games on the site abcya.com and playing the "Kakooma" app!  Be sure to have your child share about them with you!
