{Celebrating Multiplication}

We were finally able to have our Multiplication Celebration. (Waiting for our turn with the school card.) Our class did a wonderful job practicing and memorizing their multiplication facts. (Everyone should still be practicing 10 minutes each night!) Each math fact matched up with a item food that makes up an ice cream sundae.

1- Napkin
2- Bowl
3- Spoon
4- Chocolate Ice cream
5- Strawberry Ice cream
6- Whipped Cream
7- Chocolate Syrup
8- Cherry
9- Oreos
10- M&M's
11- Nuts
12- Sprinkles




We ate our ice cream sundaes while watching a movie about multiplication. The students really enjoyed the party and thought it was the best day all year.

Pen Pals


This last month we started a Pen Pal unit with a 3rd grade class in Eagle Mountain, Utah. Mrs. Nelson's class has 27 students. Both classes are very excited to have pen pals and are seeing writing in a new light. It is fun for the students to see writing being a worth while thing.

Along with learning about letters, the students are working on improving their handwriting, and using proper punctuation.

The students in both classes have promised not to exchange addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. At the end of the school year if the students are still writing, parents will be allowed to change that if they would like.

New Students in room 223

We were lucky enough to get 2 new students in our class this past month. Within 2 days of each other Alexia and Nicole B. moved into our class.

Alexia moved to Vineyard from Provo.

Nicole B. moved here from Texas.

We are excited to have both of them in our class and hope they feel welcome.
