Open House Time!!!

Hello Families,

          It's that time of year again! It is time for Open House! Our Open House will be held March 8, 2012 in our classrooms.  Please feel free to visit my classroom as well as Mrs. Flores' classroom between 6:30-7:30 pm to see what your child has been working hard on.  Look forward to seeing you!

February 2nd- Groundhog's Day

                           

                                                                                                                                                                               February 1, 2012

Dear Students,

    Tomorrow is Groundhog's Day!  Early tomorrow morning a famous groundhog will make a prediction on whether winter will last six more weeks (sees shadow) or if spring will be here soon (does not see his shadow).  Remember, a prediction is a GUESS so if he is wrong, that's okay as long as he made an EDUCATED guess :)  On the right hand side of this blog you will find a poll.  A poll is where people cast a vote and we find out what the MAJORITY chooses.  (Majority-the most or more than half----this is a vocabulary word this week).  Cast your vote and tomorrow we will see what the groundhog predicts!!

                                                                                         Joyfully,

                                                                                       Mrs. Boehme

P.S. Don't you notice how I wrote this post in the form of a letter which is what we are studying this week?

Research, Research, Research!

     Hello students and parents!  We have had an exciting two weeks! We have been researching and finding out all kinds of neat information about our topics.  Students in my morning class chose an animal to research, while the students in my afternoon class chose a state in the United States.  This week we are working on completing our research booklets, creating a Wordle, and presenting our information on a poster. 

                *** Parents, please ask your child what their topic is and have your child explain a little about what he/she has learned.  I am sure he/she would love to share with you!

                ***Students please post a comment below.....Here is your topic:

                                     Students, post 2 interesting facts about your research topic.

I look forward to reading all of your posts!  Happy researching!!!!

                                                                             Joyfully,

                                                                                  Mrs. Boehme

 

 

Dear Students and Families, 

     Wow! It has been a long time since I have posted! Things are finally starting to slow down, with all of the excitement of a newborn and all :)  My husband and I have finally got the hang of parenthood and love our new little boy more than words can say!  Thank you all for your support while I was out and the warm welcomes when I returned.  I hope that you all have had a FANTASTIC Thanksgiving break, I know that I have!  When we return to school on Monday, we will be working hard to get as much learning in before yet another holiday break.  We will be reading stories, writing stories/poems/journal entries/etc., visiting the library, and more! We will still be focusing on nonfiction (things that are real or actually happened).  Take a look around at how much nonfiction you read or watch on TV everyday!  Many stories or articles in magazines, newspapers, and some television shows such as the news are nonfiction.  We also will be doing many fun holiday activities which I will be posting more information on as the days pass.  I look forward to a wonderful December! Please feel free to post a comment about what you and your family did over the Thanksgiving holiday! I'd love to read them!

                                                                                                    Joyfully, 

                                                                                                            Mrs. Boehme
