Family Update: What We're Learning

As we prepared to kick off February vacation, students helped draft a letter home to parents about what they have been learning. A typed version was signed by each student and sent home. Note the vocabulary words, which they promised to explain to their parents: survive, migrate, hibernate, cherish, and treasure.


Dear Family,

We have been learning about many things at school. We have learned how animals survive in winter. Birds migrate. Bears hibernate.

We have also been talking about the things we cherish. We have been naming the treasures we have, such as home-made gifts and valentines.

Sincerely,

Room A415
