READING
          Next week we will be reading a book called Owl Moon.  We will be learning about owls and do some opinion writing.  We will be asking the essential question:  Why do readers and writers compare and contrast stories by different authors and genres?
           
         
                 MATH

            Next week we will be working on repeated addition, building arrays and equal groups.

MAPS Testing
          Next week we will be taking the MAPS test on Monday and Wednesday.  Please make sure your child gets plenty of rest and eats a good breakfast.
                            
Open House
          I enjoyed seeing everyone at the Open House!  Thank you to everyone who for the gift certificates for the book fair.  I was able to purchase books for our classroom to enjoy.  I appreciate your thoughtfulness!  The children have been working very hard and it shows in their beautiful work.  I’m very proud of them and you should be too.

Science
          Our caterpillars have built a chrysalis and will soon be turning into butterflies.   We can’t wait until they turn into butterflies.
