They're up and if you ask me, they're so beautiful I think they're dazzling. As soon as I heard that the panels were being installed (thanks for the tip Kristi), I ran out to marvel at the work our 2nd graders did and I was giddy, really giddy. I could barely focus on anything else! Our school has a new accessory on Boston and Bigelow that will inform and be admired for years to come. Now that they’re in, we are scheduling a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate with all classrooms and adults involved. Ms. Meg and Ms. Leland have been a tremendous help with this project! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Now that I’ve got your attention, I have a few spring break recommendations to keep fresh with learning and showcasing. Mr. Jeffrey has given each class a challenge to read 50 books and record it on BiblioNasium. Of course we’re collectively going to read well over 50 books, but recording it on BiblioNasium is up to you! In case you didn’t get Mr. Jeffrey’s blog about this, here it is.
WEEBLYS!! It is my goal to get more student work and photos posted on individual Weebly sites. I will be checking out student sites over the break to check new blog posts. This is a great opportunity to post things you do over the break that can be shared through writing, photographs and videos. You can also add text to work and photos that we have added to your site. Some students have added additional subject learning they’ve done outside of class. I’ve really LOVED getting to know students more through their sites. Check out Corrina’s website for some inspiration.
Also, we had 5-6 students absent at the end of this past week as we’ve been learning about area and fractions in math. We will review some geometry when we return after spring break, but please involve your child with math and fractions in real-world situations. Here are a couple videos we watched in class and Learn Zillion is a fabulous resource connected to the Common Core standards.

Have a fabulous spring and I hope this giddy-ness continues!
