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 Monday next week.  Our next chapter will be on place value to the hundreds place.

Science
            We are learning about the life cycle of the butterfly.  We have 10 caterpillars (larva) in our classroom.  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.

Our spring open house will be on April 26th from 6:30-8:00.  All family members are welcome to attend and see all of our beautiful work on display.
