April 20th - April 24th

In math we have started measuring objects.  We have learned that the shorter the unit is the longer the measurement is.  Practice measuring things at home using everyday objects as units! Remember the units need to be the same size. 

Author Marie Powell came to our school to share some of her books with us. She brought some songs and puppets too!  Many kids in our class have been checking her books out during library time.

Roughrider Dan Clark came to speak with us about bullying on Wednesday.  He taught us about different types of bullying and ways to deal with a bully.  He shared many personal stories that the kids really enjoyed listening to.

Wednesday April 29th - Field trip to the Floral Conservatory (am)

Spring is here and we can get outside and enjoy the weather! We are so

lucky to have a beautiful bike path and lake so close to our school,  

Spring walks are filled with many animal sightings and gorgeous scenery.  

This week we started working on a Nutrition Research Project.  Students are researching a topic in groups and will teach the class what they have learned.  Topics include Healthy Snacking and Reading Labels.  Ask your child what his/her topic is.  Here are some pictures of us working in our groups.

In Language Arts we have been studying non-fiction books.  We have learned many features that non-fiction books may have including a table of contents, index, glossary, and captions.  Grab a non-fiction book and let your child show you what he/she has learned!

This week in math we have been working on 2 digit subtraction.  We have been making up our own 2 digit subtraction stories to solve.  Keep working on 2 digit addition and subtraction at home with your child!

We practiced drawing rabbits and then painted them to take home for the break.  

Here is a website that we have been using this week.  It is called Wonderopolis and the kids wanted me to share the link on our blog.
