April 15-19

Hello Families,

I am so proud of our class.  They did an amazing job at the morning assembly.  It can be so scary speaking and singing in front of the whole school and they did amazing!!!!

We are still finishing up our insects and plants theme this next week.  Students will be making ladybugs with double facts.  We will writing about the life cycle of a ladybug.  We will be making compound words with insect names.

We will have a book swap on Wednesday, April 17th.  Please turn in your books by Tuesday if you want to participate. 

In Writer's workshop, Earth day is coming up so we are discussing how we can help our own school with cleaning up.  We will be touring the school and identifying things that we could help with keeping it clean.  Then, we will write to Ms. Green about how we can make a difference.

In Reader's workshop, we will be discussing ways of how to read by taking a quick glance at the book and reading the pictures and captions.  We will be finding compound words in books.

In Math, we will be talking about measurement and how we use tools to measure length, weight, capacity, and temperature.  This is a great way to show them things you do at home to connect them to real world like weighing themselves on a scale, taking their temperature, and measuring food while cooking.

In Language Arts, we will be starting our Authors' study on "Eric Carle".  We will be reading many books written by Eric Carle and comparing the pictures and story elements.
