Happy Valentine's Day!!
Our bloggers picked 2 images to share with you!  Take a look....

Announcements
Today is the last day before February vacation.  We celebrated by doing a little karaoke!  We each took a turn with the microphone and boogied down!   Yarmouth's Got Talent - here we come!!

Parkinville wishes Mrs. Parkin a very happy birthday on February 19th!

For those of you who couldn't attend your conference on Thursday, due to the snow day, Mrs. Parkin will be in touch with you to reschedule.

Math
We took the Unit 7 assessment today, which was on fractions.

Science
Just a quick note to let you know that the videos for the Motion and Design challenges were erased by accident.  We are sorry we can't share them with you, but trust us, we did great!!

Reading
We are still reading our non-fiction books.  We are reading both types of non-fiction books:  narrative & expository.  Narrative non-fiction conveys facts told as a story.  Expository non-fiction teaches facts, but doesn't center around a story.

Writing
We are writing essays on our Kid Blogs on a topic that we know a lot about.  Our bloggers are writing about wolves and sailing.  Each paragraph has an umbrella idea, which is the main topic.  Within that paragraph, we write details to support our umbrella idea.

Hoops for Heart
This week, we participated in Hoops for Heart with Ms. Lenehan's class!  We had lots of fun and we hope we raised a lot of money for the American Heart Association!

We hope you have a restful, fun vacation with your families!  See you when we return on Monday, February 24th!
