Welcome Back-Happy Spring

Welcome Back!

   hope everyone had a restful, fun, family centered spring break. I am very excited to see your sweet children. I missed them! We have a busy week ahead of us. Please look below for details about our learning.

Reading: We will start the week off by setting goals for ourselves as readers and finding just right books. We will then move into poetry! In partners, students will begin reading a variety of poetry and practice their reading fluency.  

Writing: We are going to review small moments and spend time writing about Spring Break. We will also be working on revising our stories by paying attention to punctuation and endings! Next week, we will begin writing poetry. Students will read a great deal of poetry this week and will be ready to write their own! 

Math: Tomorrow we are going to begin Chapter 12, Numbers to 40. This unit explores place value and allows students several opportunities to use cubes to build numbers in a tens and ones chart. 

Social Studies: On Tuesday we will start our Long Ago and Today unit. This unit focuses on the idea of how things change over time. We will talk about schools. homes, transportation, games, and much more. We are going to have a field trip next week(4-1) to the Transportation Museum. Please look for the permission slip to come home on Monday! Our class is allowed to bring two parent chaperones! This unit will last for about a month and we will have several opportunities for you to support our learning.
