We have been busy, busy, busy! This month we did a unit on the Underground Railroad and discovered how Harriet Tubman was a great leader and very brave woman. During our study we had the chance to use some activotes with our borrowed Smart Board. We had a ton of fun! The Smart Board recognizes what button the students push and then charts it for us! How neat is that?

Here they are voting:

An example of a question.

After we voted this is one of the graphs I could choose for us to look at. The graph not only tells me how we did with the question but it gives me a quick check on how well we are understanding the material.

We also celebrated Valentine's Day this month on Friday the 13th. (Ha!) Our pen pals sent us some cool valentines that they created with a computer program. They chose words that described their pen pals and then typed them in to create an artistic piece of writing. Thank you pen pals!

We had lots of treats to eat...

and valentines to open.

Mrs. Roberts came and taught us a new song that involved some fancy dance moves. I think we got them down though!

We have also been busy doing secret art projects in order to get ready for:
