READING
Thank you to the parents who sent in the Animal report sheets. We will be using those to write an expository report in school. We will be writing a five paragraph essay on our chosen animal. These will be on display at Open House.
MATH
In math we are starting a new chapter on patterns next week. We will be identifying, predicting and extending patterns.
Handwriting
We will be learning to write the cursive capital letters D and C. Please review the lowercase letters with your child.
Science
We are learning about the life cycle of the butterfly. We have two containers of caterpillars (larva) that we are observing with magnifying glasses. We are keeping a journal to record what we are learning and the growth of the butterflies.
Open House
Our spring open house will be on April 23rd from 6:30-8:00. All family members are welcome to attend and see all of our beautiful work on display.
Supplies Needed
We will be doing a special project in April. We need an empty toilet paper tube and an empty egg carton for the projects. Please send in one tube and one egg carton to school with your child.
Character Counts
The pillar for April is Citizenship. Are you a good citizen? “I am a good citizen because I throw away my garbage in the garbage can.” “ I follow the classroom rules.” “I follow the rules when I ride the bus.” We will be wearing purple on Fridays.
