Week 24 - 25 (February 13 - 24)

Valentine's Day Celebrations
The kids were so excited about Valentine's Day that it seemed only right to make a whole day out of it. We fell in love with fractions, read a nonfiction piece informing us how Valentine's Day was started, and created some sweet cards for our loved ones.

Why Authors' Write 
We've been discussing the 3 reason that authors write: to inform, to persuade, or to entertain. The kids too some time to look into their bags of books to see what type of books they had and what types of author writing that they are interested in. We also discussed reasons why authors would want to engage in these types of writing. 

Celebrating Zakia
Zakia's mom brought in cupcakes, drinks, and treat bags to celebrate Zakia's birthday!!! 

Fraction, Fractions, Everywhere!
Now that we're working on Fractions, fractions seem to be EVERYWHERE! The kids are noticing all of the different fraction around them, in their books, in their lunch, and everywhere else. The kids have really taken a liking to fractions and are doing very well with them. 

Celebrating Black History
The Black History Program was amazingly beautiful! The kids really enjoyed themselves and learned a great deal about some of the African Americans who have gone unnoticed over time.
