April 15, 2011

READING
We will be working on learning more information on the rain forest and butterflies. The rain forest animal posters that have come in are great! The children have been working hard on their animal reports.
MATH
In math we will be finishing our chapter on fractions. Our test will be on Thursday next week. Our next chapter will be on place value to the hundreds place.

Science
We will be learning about the life cycle of the butterfly. We are waiting for the arrival of the caterpillars (larva). We will be observing them by using magnifying glasses. We will be working in a journal to record what we are learning and the stages of development from egg to butterflies.

Open House
Our spring open house will be on April 28th from 6:30-8:00. All family members are welcome to attend and see all of our beautiful
work on display.

We will be celebrating summer birthdays before the end of our school year. Write me a note and we can pick a date to celebrate your child’s summer birthday.
