Worms

We had loads of fun this week learning about living and nonliving things in Science! Students had to put their science faces on to determine the differences between a gummy worm and a real worm. Their reactions to the real worm were priceless. I had kids squealing, many that wouldn't touch it, and some that looked sick. Of course, they put their smiley faces on for the pictures.

We had the Bike Rodeo this last week and it was a blast! Students learned all about bike safety and the importance of wearing helmets. They showed off their biking skills in the course and luckily no one ran me over at the "cross walk"!

For our reading skills, we have continued our practice with r-controlled vowels (er, ir, ur, ar) and students are now able to point out those words in their reading. Coming up we will be talking about the last r-controlled vowel, "or".

We have been doing activities in class to go along with "The Lemonade War". If you are not reading this book at home, PLEASE PLEASE start! It's not too late! Not only do we talk about it at school, but it is such a great opportunity to spend that quality time with your kids.

We will be doing "Brag Tags" on Monday instead of today (Friday), so make sure to write down your child's reading in their agenda from last week so they can get a bead for their chain and a treat.

Book Orders are due on Thursday, April 3. I know it says the due date is April 4, but there is no school for students on April 4. 

Wednesday, April 2 is "Wear Pink Day".

Here are a few pictures from this week. The last pictures are of Trysten's play that he and some friends performed for the class. He has been working so hard on his reading and got to show off his skills! Thank you Mrs. Shimbashi!
