    Look what we are doing in class:


    We had a great week and I am looking
    forward to next week! The kids learned
    that animals migrate, hibernate or adapt in
    winter. We spent a few days reading a
    small book about this and learned about
    what some animals do. This generated
    more questions and the kids want to look
    through other animal books to find out
    what other animals do in winter. We have
    a chart in room to display the names or
    pictures of animals as they find new
    information.
    We are finishing writing Realistic Fiction stories, and
    will begin Opinion stories the first week in February.
    The kids worked in small groups to think, write and
    illustrate the stories. They did a great job working
    together as teams. Note: Look for a small paper in
    your childs folder next week asking for a small 5 -piece
    collection to come to school for a few days. We will
    use it for writing.
    Finally we will be learning about Penguins and other
    animals that love snow, ice and the cold temperatures.
    I will be doing a lot of assessing the next 2 weeks. I
    cant wait to see their progress!

    I want you to know how compassionate, kind, understanding, and patient your children are towards each
    other in our class, and at Belmont. We are like a family in our room and I am very proud of them. They are
    working very hard in all contents areas, and they tell me they are, getting smarter every day.

    Our Focus Lessons:


    Math: We have been having a lot of fun in math this past

    week. We had our first timed test. The kids did great!
    Then I realized that they need to do these problems in 2
    minutes. (Not 3 minutes like I allowed them) I will tell
    them about my mistake next time. (This will be our new
    goal.) I will call this our practice. They were surprised
    how well they did and liked them.
    We started Counting Collections Friday afternoon. The
    kids did a great job. I took a lot of pictures. I will post
    these on the blog: kimdonzeclassroom.blogspot.com They
    grouped the objects in 10s, and then re-grouped them
    together to make 100s etc. Some groups counted way into
    the 100s! It made sense to the kids because we spent time
    learning about place value, and used base-10 blocks last
    week as we looked closely at numbers. We used a place
    value mat to show our counts today: flats (hundreds), longs
    (tens) and cubes (ones).

    Social Studies:

    The kids really loved the biographies about Martin


    Luther King Jr. and the other books I read that reinforced kindness
    towards others. One of their favorites was:

    Each Kindness by

    Jacqueline Woodson

    Belmonts Best
    Mrs. Thelen will invite these kids
    to eat their lunch with her
    during the week of:

    Word Study: We have not done


    small group word study lately, but
    as a class we will do work with
    blends. The kids will listen, look
    for and write the following blends
    in words: st, pl, tr, gl, tw, gr, sl, sw,
    fr, pr, dr, and fl.

    Needs:

    Many children are out of glue sticks,


    and most of my extra supply is also
    gone. If you are at the store and can
    get some for your child that would be
    appreciated.

    I would also love to get some more


    Lysol wipes for our room. We clean the
    desks at least 2 times a week and we
    are running short of them.

    Feb. 11: Lucas Walker


    Feb. 16: Enya Stevens
    PTO has purchased a book for
    each child again this year and
    they will receive it at lunch on
    their special day.

    Thanks!
