What an awesome week! We are in full swing of our animal unit! We have learned and made some cute crafts about some animals! Our magical butterflies came out of their cocoon this week and our lima bean plants are really growing strong! We will be planting them into soil next week! Oh what fun!

Just a reminder all students and chaperones going on the field trip- Money is due TUESDAY, MAY 2nd!

Our school's International Festival is THIS Saturday from 11:00-2:00! It is going to be so much fun. I hope y'all can make it.

Luke celebrated a birthday last week! Happy Birthday!

Academic Update:


Literacy: We are still completing our animal unit. We've had a blast learning about giraffes, monkeys, lions and other fun zoo animals. Please make sure you are reading at least 20 minutes a night. We read every day, so reading at night just helps reinforce the skills we are learning.
Math:  We are in full swing in our subtraction chapter. Please practice basic subtraction at home. Sometimes we get confused and use addition when we are suppose to be using subtraction.
Science: We are learning lots of animal facts!

Have a great weekend!

We had an awesome week! I can't believe the school year is coming to an end so soon! We talked all about bugs and insects this week! We even have cocoons hanging and when our magical butterflies are ready- they will come out! Our lima beans we have planted are really starting to sprout! It is so exciting to watch the kids  get excited about the process of how a plant grows!

Thank you for all the parent involvement for the field trip. I have six chaperones for the field trip. I feel awful about turning many parents away who are wanting to come with us. I will take lots of pictures! We are so exciting about going to Legoland!

Congrats to Rachel and Aiden! They were chosen for our Chick-Fil-A students of the month!

Oh! New Beginnings! We had a great first week in the new school! It was a very busy one but it was crazy awesome! The new classroom is beautiful and the students love it and work really well in it. Please continue talk to your child about 1. walking on the color line in the hallway and not hoping on the color squares. 2. Have proper bathroom etiquette- if we potty on the toilet, clean it up, etc. 3. Taking care of our new beautiful classroom and building. By continuing the conversations at home, it will help the students follow the rules better. Thank you for your home support on this.

I am sending home a new homework packet on Monday. The sight words are listed are on the homework calendar each week.

Now that we are in the beautiful classroom, we are in need of a Swiffer type/mop and a broom /dust pan. If you have one  that you could donate, please let me know. We would like to keep the room as pretty and clean as possible.

The CRCT starts this coming Wednesday. The students (and me) miss having the volunteers in the classroom. Please understand while the CRCT testing is going on throughout the school, no parents are allowed in the building. I look forward to having y'all back in the class.

Ben celebrated a birthday this week. Happy Birthday!

Academic Update:
Literacy: We are continuing our Spring is Here unit. Please practice your sight words every night.

Science: Parts of a plant. We planted a lima bean and a white bean to watch the seed growth process. Oh, it's so exciting!

Just a reminder, we will be starting in our new building on April 9th. Carpool starts at 7:30. Our new classroom is beautiful. I can't wait. Have a great break. See you in a week! :)
