Newsletter 3-31-15

Our language arts unit is focusing on responsibility.  We’ve talked about being responsible citizens, pet owners, and friends.

We finished our math unit on three-digit addition and subtraction.  It was a tough one, but our kids did great!  We are finishing our unit on geometry this week.

We read about firefighters in language arts, and we had a fire fighter visit our classroom.  He explained his job, taught us about fire safety, and showed us the tools he uses for his job.  We also wrote facts and opinions about fire fighters.










We had a terrific time on St. Patrick’s Day!  We wrote about finding a leprechaun, we made our own leprechauns, and we did Lucky Charms graphing.  Some sneaky leprechauns got into our classroom at lunchtime and caused some mischief!  





We have been practicing our songs, dances and speaking parts for the Ugly Duckling play.  The parent performance will be Thursday, April 30 at 2:00.  We hope you can make it!

If your child has not brought back his or her reading calendar, it needs to be turned in by Friday.

We’ve had three kids achieve 100% fluency on their math facts 0-10 in Reflex Math: Hannah, Trinity, and Henry.  Way to go!  Please have your child spend some time on Reflex Math over spring break.  We have several kids who are close to 100%!


We are celebrating college week.  Our class is B.A.C.K.S. University.  (Ask your child what it means.)  We are the leatherback turtles.  Please have your child wear green and/or grey on Friday.  We're excited to do our cheer for the rest of the school!

Have a wonderful spring break!
