Where In The World Are You From?

Happy 101st Day of School!  We had a great celebration yesterday with lots of fun activities.  Thanks to all to all of you for your contributions.
This week and next we will continue our Where In The World planner.
We will do the following activities.
-Read aloud Me on the Map, students will create their own small books.
-Read aloud Mapping Pennies World, students learn the shape of the continents by making a small book.
-Read aloud We Dream of a World, students create their own page of a class book.
-Begin researching our countries of origins.  (If you have not sent in the questionaire, please do so as soon as possible.)  Also, if you can find a book about your country at your local library, please do so.  I will try to get as many as I can from the Twain library, but it is limited.
In Math we are focusing on more/less/equal, counting to 100 (sets of 10), patterning, and graphing.
Valentine's Day is Monday, February 14th.  We will be having a card exchange.  Please have your cards here by Friday, February 11.
FYI- I will be out of town next Monday and Tuesday (meeting my new nephews!).  Please remind your child to follow our daily rules and procedures even when I am not here. =)

Have a great week!  Maybe we'll see snow!
