April 22

Continue to check those dates and mark them in your calendar!  

Reading and Writing:  Ms. Coffey is working on finding and using text features in both reading and writing.  Kids have included maps, labels, diagrams and "fun facts" in their writing this week.  

Math: The students practiced measuring area this week in math.  We also finished up learning about capacity and weight.  This hands on math is a lot of fun and they are learning some difficult concepts at the same time.  Students also practiced making 3D shapes and putting shapes together to create new shapes.

Science: We are excited for Space Day!  We have learned about gravity, planets and life for astronauts.  Tomorrow we will learn about constellations.  

Homework: Next week your child will have a calendar for the remaining days of the year.  Each day we do an alphabet countdown that will include a fun activity or  something special to wear for each letter of the alphabet.
