We had so much fun this week!
Worms: We read a lot about worms and enjoyed observing them and labeling the parts of a worm. Next week we will meet larger worms (ack!) and compare and contrast them.
Butterflies: We are also observing the caterpillars that came to our classroom. We haven't learned a lot about them yet, but we will get to that soon enough!
Construction: We really enjoyed having Mr. McDermott come in and teach us about different tools used in construction and he showed us how to build a wall! He left a 23x24 wall for us!
Reading: We are practicing using picture and word clues to figure out unknown words. We are reading words with silent e and learning about vowel teams!
Writing: We worked on our opinion writing this week. Next week we will learn about letter writing.
Math: We worked with teen numbers, number bonds and worked on building up our math fact fluency.

Due to its great success the last two years, the Irving spring book fair will be participating in Scholastic's All For Booksprogram by holding our 3rd Irving Classroom Coin Challenge. Money raised through the AFB program is used to add to our funds to purchase books for our library and will also be used to donate books to a local organization (Parenthesis Family Center, a program of New Moms) that aids families with young children through several different programs. Ms. Noonan was able to use the money the classrooms raised to make library purchases. In addition, Scholastic then meets our donations by giving books to two national foundations that get books to schools, communities, and children in need (schools destroyed by tornados, impoverished areas, etc).
We will be holding a classroom coin collection challenge the week before the book fair. Mrs. Vonhagel, Mrs. Schassburger, and Ms. Saliny's students' donations will go in with the mainstream classrooms that those students are associated with, like we did last year.
1) The coin drive will run Mon, April 17 - Thu, April 20.
2) Letters explaining the coin collection will go home to the families the week of April 10th.
