Our Dreams
We've been reading about Martin Luther King Jr. We talked about his dream for our country. The students wrote their dreams for our country. Check out their silhouettes and their dreams.

Magic House Trip
We had a lot of fun learning about how a community works. The students worked at their job sites and were able to take breaks and enjoy the fun in a community. Many students loved their job so much in the beginning, that they didn't even want to take a break at first.
After working in a community, the student worked on a family budget. Of course they had to pay for all the things you need and they also had to save some money too. Oh, they had to pay taxes too. It was great to hear their ideas when they had to make choices. Ask your child about their job and their family budget.
Check out a few of our pictures.

Magic House Today
We are off to the Magic House today and we are taking our iPads. The students will be taking up to 5 photos about the work they're doing at their job site.
Just a reminder to students to bring a wallet or purse so they have a place to put the money they earn. It's always exciting to learn about how a community work.

Collecting Empty Cereal Boxes
Please send in empty cereal boxes from now until February 8th. I'm planning to cut off the top flaps and cover them with colored butcher paper and they'll be our Valentine boxes for the holiday party. If I get enough boxes before February 8th, I'll let you know that we're stopping the collection.
Thanks!
Thanks!

QR Codes and IPads
I've created some QR codes so the students can see some video clips of candy factories, a shoe factory, and a bubble gum factory. We can't take a factory tour as we learn about goods and services, but the video clips show us just what happens in factories.
Math News
We've been working hard counting groups of half dollars, quarters, nickels, and pennies. The students are doing great. We will be reviewing on Monday and the Chapter 12 test will be on Tuesday,
Next week I will be giving timed addition and subtraction tests. The timed tests for 3rd and 4th quarter have only the hard facts on them.
