This was a particularly productive week as we moved head-on into our new writing unit. The children have been exposed to a few articles that debate whether school cafeterias should serve chocolate milk. I have been impressed by how well they can articulate their points and opinions. Lots more reading about chocolate milk next week.
We began our respiratory unit in health. The children have been exposed to a considerable number of new vocabulary words as we investigate the breathing process. It's an interesting unit, but then again, one of our topics yesterday was boogers. I mean, can it get any better than that?
The next Betor's Bulls-Eye project is due February 14th, which is the last day before min-winter break. I have already been given many projects. If your child has not yet completed his/her 3rd project, please make sure it is ready for the 14th.
In grammar we have focused on the homophones your & you're, their, there & they're and its & it's. I am pleased to say that they did very well.
The Betor/Bacher Buddies got together on Thursday to make a Charlotte's Web project. They are currently being displayed in our hallway. I took lots of photos which should be included on the "One School, One Book" website.
Bagel Thursday and Pajama Day 2014 both proved to be fun events. I am attaching several pictures of the kids lounging around reading in their jammies and their stuffed animals.
Have a wonderful long weekend! Take care, Lester Betor & class
Makes you want to be a kid again.
