The kids are loving this warmer weather here at school. As you know, the weather does fluctuate this time of year so please make sure your child brings a sweatshirt or light coat everyday.
In math this week we had some fun playing with shapes to see what other shapes we could make. It was a great time of exploration!
In reading we are continuing to enjoy books and grow everyday! We are deepening our understanding of characters and how this can help us learn more about the book. It has been fun watching the kids use their facial expression and voice to act out the parts of the characters. We are working towards doing some readers theaters to end our unit - which won't be for a bit yet :)
In writing we are having a blast working on our non-fiction writing. The kids are showing off what they are experts in and enjoying writing to teach us things. Sometimes it can be hard for a student to know what they know a lot about so if you can help them generate ideas that would be super helpful!
Just a reminder that our field trip to John Ball Zoo is on Thursday, May 30. Please look for a note with more information to come home tomorrow. Any parent who has filled out a background check is welcome to come! It is such a fun field trip and the kids really are looking forward to it.
Have a great week!
