The week of April 17-20

 I hope you all had a great weekend!

Field trip!  You should have received the field trip information in your child's folder.  Please make sure your child has a disposable sack lunch with a disposable drink, as we will throw it away.  Wear comfortable clothes and shoes.  The bus leaves at 9:15!   There is a chance of rain, so they could bring a jacket and leave it on the bus if we don't need it. Lastly, make sure your child has a good breakfast to tie them over.  Our lunchtime is an hour later than we usually eat.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Phonics- This week we are learning about the vowel diphthongs--oi/oy.

oi-will be found mostly in the middle of a word.

oy-will be found mostly at the end of the word.

Heart words:  any, four, only, better

Math--This week we are finishing flat 2D shapes and will move to solid 3D shapes next week.  Make sure to ask your child what the 2D shapes are to review.  How many sides and how many vertices.

Tying shoes--Nine students demonstrated they can tie shoes the challenging way!  Thank you for working with your child on this!  You will be glad you did!  The kids are so proud of themselves for learning this tough skill!  

Science-

We have a garden growing in our room!  Check it out below!

Today we checked on our lima beans to see if they have sprouted.  Ask your child if they saw a root or leaf growing!  A few are slow-moving yet.

We also have grass coming up in our cups!
