What's New in Room 4?

As promised, here is a look at what we are working on in Room4:
Literacy: This week we began our study of non-fiction texts. Students will be reading a variety of non-fiction texts and responding to various organizers and completing activities that support our skill of retelling the key information and supporting details in an informational text. 
Math: This week we completed our Graphing Unit and have not started our Geometry unit.
Science: Miss Adamson has been working with the students on the topic of weather this week. They have studied temperature, clouds, wind and so much more.

Tomorrow AHE will be celebrating the birthday of a very famous author, Dr. Seuss! Dr. Seuss's birthday is nationally recognized as Read Across America Day. As part of this celebration, we have invited some IU student athletes to Room 4 to read-aloud their favorite children's book. Please encourage your child to wear their red & white to honor the creator of, The Cat and the Hat as well as our own Indiana Hoosiers!

Bottles please

Happy Friday Room 4! Miss Adamson is currently working on a weather science unit and is asking students to bring in cleaned out bottles, 2 L work great or soda/water bottles. Watch for more information Monday regarding our upcoming studies.

Valentine's Day

This was playing Minute to Win It. The students were given a Twizzler and had 1 minute to eat the entire thing without using their hands!

Enjoying a fun celebration in Room 4!

Just wanted to share some pics from Valentine's Day. We had a great day in Room 4! Thanks to all who contributed and/or attended and helped. You all are so amazing! :)

Room 4 is on Twitter!

Yay! I am so excited I have linked our blog to Twitter! Woo hoo! I will tweet some of the great things happening in room 4 as well as upcoming events. :)  Follow us @MrsQuimby1st     You can also follow Arlington Heights @AHEeagles  

Technology Night

Technology Night at AHE is tomorrow night. Parents and students are invited back to school between 6-7:30 to visit informative booths that will highlight some of the technology students at AHE are using daily.

Valentine's Day

Love is in the air, and we are excited to celebrate Valentine's Day in Room 4! We will celebrate on Thursday, February 14th around 1:45-2:15. Miss Adamson and I were thinking a sugar cookie party would be fun. We are seeking donations of sugar cookies, as well and yummy decorations (icing, sprinkles,...) We are also thinking it would be fun to work on a craft for our party. I have been digging through Pinterst and I think I have a few ideas. If you have an idea, please let me know. I am sending home a class list today.  I am hoping to get to Target this weekend to  see if they still have the adorable tiny mailboxes for each child to collect their cards, if not we will make some cute bags.I will keep you posted as I hear from parents. Thank you! :)

100s Museum

I am so sorry I am just getting this posted, January just flew by me! :) Thanks to all who were able to stop by and see our 100th Day Projects! It was a great time and an awesome celebration of the learning that has taken place in 1st grade at AHE!
