 Hi parents,

We had an awesome Valentines Day today!

In the morning, students finished up their 'Secret Valentines' cards, as well as their Little Prince writing. We started a new writing task - a Love Letter.  To something other than a person. 

Students wrote about their love for sports, video games, snacks, etc., but addressed their letters to these things as if they were people. It was a cool exercise in personification and letter writing.

We officially had our first division lesson today, which all around went really well. The class was quick to notice how similar it is to multiplication. There is a great Number Blocks episode on division that I recommend watching at home if your child is still a little unsure. We watched it today in class as well.

In the afternoon,  students made 'mail bags' for their Secret Valentines cards. These were also used for storing valentines cards students decided to bring for the class. They were thrilled by this activity as it's the first time we've gotten to do a card exchange in the last couple years.

Tomorrow is the Family Dance!

Have a nice night,

Zac
