Week of April 11, 2011

Happy April! Here we are, back from spring break and it's almost the middle of the month already!

If your child hasn't turned in his/her reading/math log for March, please make sure it is turned in tomorrow. Mrs. Head will be drawing for the Kindle soon!


The week of March 28 we:
 - had our Africa Celebration.Thank you so much for attending! We appreciate you participating in the earthquake drill too!
 - read a story called Watermelon Day and did a fun art project related to the project .
 - finished our poetry safari, writing odes.
 - finished Topic 9: More addition and subtraction of 2-digit numbers and took the assessment.
 - learned how to mix paint to make shades and tints of colors
 - practiced being social detectives.
 - joined Ms Henley's class for a pajama party and celebrated April Fool's Day.

This week we'll:
 - read and take an assessment over a story called The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash. We'll watch a video to go along with this fun story too.
 - learn about nouns with Ms Hindman.
 - review what people do in communities and begin Unit 7: Who Provides Services in a Community. If you have a service job in the community that you'd like to come and talk about with the class, please let me know!
 - continue practicing math facts with a music cd. and take an addition math facts assessment.
 - begin Topic 10: Fractions, Probability, and Time, with a review of one-half and one-fourth.
