Fractions and Humphrey
In room 209, we are working on a lot of fractions. We are learning about how to add and subtract fractions. Also we are learning how to regroup fractions. We are taking turns taking home Humphrey the hamster (it is a plush hamster so no need for hamster food! ) We are also bringing home a Humphrey journal with him so you can write about your fun adventures with Humphrey! You can share your adventures with Humphrey in class during Morning Meeting. There is a three day schedule (for Humphrey). The three day schedule is: you have it through Wednesday – Friday, Monday – Wednesday, or Friday- Monday. Take a look at the class calendar and you can see what days you or your kids have Humphrey Visiting!

One School, One Book
This week, our school is finishing our first (annual, hopefully) One School, One Book activity. For the past few weeks, students throughout PGS have jointly read the first book of the According to Humphrey series. Each week, students read through a few chapters at home with their families, and on Fridays, as a whole school, we continued to read the book together. This particular book has been a great choice because it’s an easy enough book to be appropriate to read with kindergarteners, but it also has terrific opportunities for inferences and connections, making it a good fit for older students. Two weeks ago, PGS students dressed up as their favorite book characters, which was a fun way to celebrate many of our favorite books!
