The kids earned a class reward by making sure the classroom was clean by dismissal ten times (building responsibility). They voted on watching a movie (over having a pajama day or extra Fun Friday time). Then they voted on a movie so we will be watching Finding Nemo on Monday in the afternoon; it is rated G which means it can be shown at school. 👍 The kids do NOT have to bring cards, but if they wish to, we will be passing out Valentine's Day cards on Monday.
Reminders for Friday, February 11thWeek Overview

- Weather test on Thursday, 2/17
- Interesting vs. Important Details quiz on Friday, 2/18 (reading)
- This focus is intended to build kids' awareness of what details from a story should be used when retelling it or supporting their thinking.
- Example.) In the Little Red Riding Hood, the main character's red jacket is an interesting detail while the wolf taking the place of her grandma is an important detail as it affects the story. If the wolf did not do this, then there would not be a problem in the story (other than grandma being sick).
