One more day till we're finished our first week! 
Today in literacy we learned about IPICK (ask me if I know what some of the letters stand for), and practiced to see if we could read up to six minutes silently! By doing this, we were trying to work on our stamina and challenge ourselves each week to see if we can read longer. 

Soon we will be learning to track how long we have been silently reading for each week with our "Stamina Graph."

We also started on our "All About Me" math covers, as well as working with our STEM bins. Today we had a challenge to work together to create an animals home. 

Just a reminder that there are forms coming home today that need to be signed and dated on both sides before they are sent back to the school. 

Have a great Thursday!
