January greetings from Scarborough, Maine.

 We have had lots of COLD weather. In fact, we have been studying the weather and just had a meteorologist come to teach us about weather. In class, we have kept track of the temperature and have been as high as 49 degrees and as low as 2 degrees. The wind chill has made it below zero on many days. We have had to have lots of inside recesses. At inside recess, we like to play with blocks, legos, checkers, and to draw on whiteboards. When we did get to go outside, we had fun in the snow or just running around. We are looking forward to warmer days.In January, we took the Cognitive Ability tests which was our first time taking a standardize test. Some of us thought it was fun to work in booklets.We did measurement activities in math which got us up and moving around. Now, we are doing mental math and estimation. In two weeks it will be our February vacation. Do you have a February vacation too?
