I hope you enjoyed your extra long weekend. It sounds like the students did some wonderful things, from skiing, to visiting the State Fair. I spent mine relaxing with my family. It has been such a busy month and I needed the rest.
I was so proud of the students sharing at Town Meeting this morning about what they would do if they were the President of the United States (to coincide with President's Day). If you did not get a chance to hear them share, I am planning on creating a Voice Thread in the upcoming weeks to post on my blog for you to view.
Current Events sharing continues this week with Jackie and Auggie on Tuesday; Ainsley and Aidan on Wednesday; Victoria and WIll on Thursday; and, Isabella on Friday.
Our Parent Reader this Friday will be J. Emerson.
The students have been working hard on researching facts about an Australian topic. If you can, please join us on Friday afternoon at 2:15pm for our museum exhibit. As you walk from one student to the next, please ask them to share a few things they learned about the animal, landmark, object, or culture they have presented in visual form. Please also keep in mind that the work you will view is all student generated and created after some research.
Class pictures will be taken on Tuesday, Feb. 26th. We ask that all students wear regular uniform items that day (no team shirts or spirit wear). Please access order forms by clicking on the link below (or you can go to the Shorecrest.org<Community>Parents Page) http://www.shorecrest.org/?page=ParentsPage

The spelling pattern this week is eer. ear and our story of the week is George and Martha, The Clock by J. Marshall. Much of our writing and reading this week will be related to our Australian project and preparing to share the information gathered.
