ELA
We read Horace, Morris, but mostly Dolores and talked about being responsible friends and neighbors. We practiced using pronouns and worked on character and setting.
We talked a lot about being responsible citizens and taking care of the earth. We used our reading books and Scholastic News to do research for our Earth Day writing. Our books turned out great!
Math
Last week we reviewed everything we've learned this year and took a district assessment. This week we started topic 13, using measurement in word problems.
Ugly Duckling
We're so excited to perform the Ugly Duckling for you tomorrow at 2:00! Please remind your child to wear the color that matches their animal in the play (cows- black or white, ducks- yellow or orange, pigs- pink, swans- white, etc.) Please just use the best of what you already have for costumes. Try to do a plain shirt, without writing, and plain pants, jeans, or a skirt. Contact me if you have any questions.
