This week we reviewed the letters B – F. We sounded out words and worked with the word family -ip. In writing, we learned how to write a proper letter to someone. The kids wrote a letter to someone each day and got to hand deliver it to them. In math, we practiced writing our numbers from 1 to 30. Everyone did an excellent job. This week we talked about the ocean. We watched The Magic School Bus videos about the ocean. Next week will be our last week of school. We will be finishing up report card testing, cleaning our room, and doing odds and ends to finish out the school year. I have enjoyed having each of your kids in my class. We have had a great year together and I am sad to see them go. I hope you have a great summer and remember to keep your child reading and writing so they don’t start behind next year! Please remember that our end of the year party is Monday and that school will be released at 12:30 on Friday. Only 5 more days of school!
Please remember to send in overdue library books and pay lunch fines before next Friday. I will not be able to give your child their report card if these things have not been taking care of.
One more thing, field day will be Tuesday (Wednesday if it rained on Tuesday). Please send your child in play clothes and tennis shoes. We will be playing lots of games outside and some of them involve water. You might want to put sunscreen on your child prior to coming to school, we will be outside for 3 hours.
Have an excellent weekend!

In math, we started trying to organize and record our counting. We counted eyes, noses, and chairs and then tried to find a way to organize our finding on a piece of paper.

This week we talked about farm animals. We looked up information on the internet about each animal. Next week we will talk about zoo animals.

This week we worked with the letter “Zz”. We made ziplock Z’s, we sounded out words that had the letter “Zz” in them and we wrote the letter “Zz” on handwriting lines. We have now worked through every letter of the alphabet. From now on we will do 1 letter each day. In writing, we finished our final copies of our animal books. They are hanging up in the hallway, if you’d like to come by and take a look. In math, we added things together that were in the inventory bags. We wrote an addition problem for the bag and labeled our answers. We will continue working on adding next week. This week we talked about magnets during science. We learned that steel and iron are attracted to magnets. We learned that the same poles repel each other and opposite poles attract each other. Next week we will talk about plants. I hope that you all have a very restful spring break. Only 39 more days of school!
Library books will be due on the Monday that we return.
Have an excellent break!
