Thank you to all the families for your marvelous support while we had
Maureen Carroll in our class student teaching!
We’ve had a wonderful time with her and have learned a ton of
information! Thanks for contributing to
her overflowing, new book bag! We’re
glad we’ll still see Mrs. Carroll around the building.
LANGUAGE ARTS
We
have worked hard in our grown-up non-fiction Book Clubs and have taught one
another about our topics and being team players. Closer to June, we will be reading and
role-playing with fiction, folktales, and fairy tales. Our “poet’s eyes” in writing have blossomed,
and we will soon move on to writing lab reports and more non-fiction.
MATH
The mathematicians worked very hard on fractions and
measurement. We now begin working with
huge numbers in understanding place value, adding and subtracting double-digit
numbers, using clocks and money and word problems while we skip count, notice
odds, evens, and other number patterns and strategies.
SCIENCE
We will continue to study plants and soil, and add earthworms
and hatching ladybugs to our science lab work!
