Hi all!  I hope that you had a nice spring break!  It was a wonderful day back.  The children transitioned very nicely.  I think that they were tired!  It was very quiet in here all day, but there were lots of smiles. J 

I can’t believe that I just wrote all of the special days until the end of the school year!  We are on our last semester, and I have to say that I am blown away at how much they have grown!  We had our Morning Warm-up this morning, and they whipped right through it!  They could tell me what a compound word was, and singular and plural nouns.  They could also read comparison number sentences to me with ease! 

I am planning on having our Unit 6 Math test on or around next Tuesday.  I am VERY pleased with their math growth.  Mrs. Rodenbaugh asked what in the world we were doing in our room, because their growth has been so huge! YAY!

And I have already expressed my excitement over their reading and writing!! You will see what we are working on in reading on the back of this page. We are beginning our opinion writing unit of study. J  Have a wonderful week!

READING MONTH: 

This week we will be making pirate ships out of aluminum foil, and then we will be testing them as to whether they sink or float!  We will also be making predictions to see how many pennies each ship will hold while floating!

Next week we will be focusing on Tinkerbell, and during the last week of March we will be working with shadows!

I am checking the children’s March calendars and if they have read at home 4 days a week, they will earn a prize for reading month!  They are allowed to read a book from home if they forget to trade out their book from their take-home folder.

WINTER CLOTHES:
I do NOT have much for extra clothing…please be sure that your child has all of the clothing for outdoor recess.  I check the temperature before recess.  If it is cold they still wear snow pants, even when there isn’t any snow. J
