Book in a Bag - Everyone's doing so well and improving their reading skills!
Thank you for helping your child build reading fluency skills and responsibility skills with Book in a Bag.
They are doing a wonderful job bringing the books back every day even if they want to keep it. We are so proud of the responsibility they are showing.
**Please continue to discuss the book with them to help them build comprehension skills. Ask them questions and have them tell you what happened. Remember to talk about the story, characters, and what the big ideas are in the story.
We have been working on responsibility and what that means. We have encouraged students to be responsible for their take home folders, books, backpacks, anything they can do on their own. They are very proud of becoming more independent and we are so proud of them!
This week was a typical spring week - hot and cold weather from one day to the next!!! Encourage your child to check their bags each day so they remember to have hats, gloves and boots. Hopefully we will not need them much longer!

Science - We concentrated this week on the shape of animal ears and how this helps them hear. Then we conducted an experiment to see how our ears could hear sounds in plastic Easter eggs filled with assorted objects. We will continue our study of sound next week.
Math - We are finishing learning about Addition Strategies to 20 and are beginning our unit on Subtraction Strategies to 20. We also continue working on learning our addition and subtraction facts. We're learning doubles addition facts and our tens as well as counting by 2's, 5's and 10's to 100 and beyond as well as understanding place value and one-to-one correspondence. Thank you so much for helping your child learn their addition and subtraction facts. It truly helps for them to practice at home too!
Social Studies - We are continuing our understanding of working together as a community and our responsibility to our world in conservation and protecting our environment. We have been learning about Earth Day and what we can do to help keep our planet safe.
We will continue working on reading skills, adding new sight words, learning new reading strategies, and working on math facts.
