Today in gym we started Evergreen Ninja Warrior. We tried going through an obstacle course. If we touched something, a watcher would send us back to the beginning. The biggest rule for Ninja Warrior is that we have to be super quiet. That was the hardest part!
This afternoon we used the planner.roomsketcher website to design what we wanted our classroom to look like. Each student worked with a partner. We had certain furniture that we had to have in the room and some furniture that we could remove. We had some things that needed to stay where we had it (for safety/electrical reasons). We will finish our plans this week and vote on the plans that we like best (as a group). Then we will transform our room!
We are celebrating Chinese New Year this week! We looked up our Zodiac signs and read about them! Tomorrow we will be creating Dragon art! One of our students generously brought in New Years candy. They do contain nuts so we are sending them home for you to make sure they are safe for your child to consume (allergies).
If you are looking for a class list to make Valentines, the sharing calendar that we send out each month includes everybody except our new student Richard. Please ensure that if you choose to send Valentine's cards to school that every student be included.
A Note on Food and Birthday Treats:
Although we appreciate the generosity, we have many food allergies/restrictions in our class (It stresses the teachers out!) . If you would like to send something in with your child to share with the class may we suggest things like: stickers, pencils, erasers, cards, small toys, etc.
Love,
The Grade Ones
