Welcome Back!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a restful and enjoyable vacation.  We are back to school in full swing this week.

This week we will be reading The Emperor's Egg.  It's a fun story filled with facts about Emperor Penguins.  I told the students that if they had any items about Penguins that they wanted to share, to bring them in this week.
The Emperor's Egg Big Book: Read and Wonder Big Book


In Science we are studying about Rocks/Earth Materials.  If your child has a rock collection that they would like to share with the class, have them bring that in this week.

Next Friday our class will be celebrating the 100th day of school.  We will be doing a fun Mystery Bottle activity.  I am asking students to fill a bottle-An old water bottle-20 ounce preferably with 100 items of something.  The students will place the Mystery bottle in a bag and write 3 clues about what is inside.  The other students will try to guess what is in their bottle.



 I will send home directions for this activity next Wednesday.  Save those water bottles if you have them or check your recycling bins for any extra bottles for students who may need one.

I would just like to take a minute to thank everyone for all of the wonderful gifts I received for Christmas. It was a nice way to start my break.  Mahalo for all of your kind words and thoughts.
