February 2

Thank you so much! The 1st grade raised $1,593 for The Georgie Badiel Foundation! With that money they will be able to restore one well and maintain it for 2 years. I'm still hoping we will raise a little bit more. If we raise $2,000 we will be able to restore 3 wells and teach the village women how to maintain it, providing both, jobs and water to people in need. We have already heard back from the organization and we certainly exceeded their expectations!!! 

Some things we did this week:

• Lots of market prep work! 
• Learned how to break big words into parts we know
• Practiced adding and subtracting 10 to 2-digit numbers
• Learned about why lunar eclipses occur
• Started planning for our trip to space

Some things to ask your child:

•  How does an eclipse happen?
• Who did you read with for flashlight Friday? 
• Were you excited to reach your goal for Georgie? 

Important Dates:

• EARLY RELEASE DAY: FEBRUARY 7th

• 100th day is looking like it will be February 7th don't forget about our 100th day project 

In all the excitement I forgot to take pictures!!! :(
