We started the week off with our bowling field trip. It was great to start the week off with such an exciting field trip. Force was needed to get those bowls down the lanes. Make sure to check out the pictures in my last post. Thank you again to Ethan's mom and Hallie's Baba for helping us out.
On Monday we did a school yard clean up for Earth Day. It was pretty hot outside and we managed to pick up a lot of garbage!
Ms.Thomas came in this week and taught us even more about the brain. We learned about how breathing and thinking happy thoughts, can help us to bring our stress levels down. She had us do a breathing exercise on the floor too.
In Language Arts we have finished our Predicting and Inferring booklets. We are learning about Main Ideas and Supporting Details. In May, I will begin my final reading assessments on the students! I'm excited to see the growth and progress!
My math group is working on a Measurement unit. So far we have measured length, height, and distance around. We are currently working on measuring mass.
Mrs. Gilroy-Beck's math group has just started a Data Analysis unit.
Our first Restaurant Day will be on Thursday May 3rd. Your child will not need to bring a lunch on this day. The first group has named their restaurant Food Palace and they will serve chicken noodle soup, alphabet soup, ham sandwiches, grilled cheese sandwiches, berry smoothies, and banana smoothies. There is a lot of excitement surrounding this unit. Group one has worked very well together to make decisions and they have been extremely productive. I will post pictures of their work so that you can all see what they have done with their signs and menus.
Both Literacy Lunches were a hit! There was a lot of great conversations about books and it was great to hear. Stay tuned for those pictures.
