Important Dates: Next week is a full week of school with no early outs.
April 11 - Report Cards were sent home. Please remember to send the
envelope back to school if you haven't already done so.
Book in a Bag - Everyone's really improving their reading skills! We are so proud of them!
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.
**They are really improving their comprehension skills. Please continue to discuss the book with them. 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 continue to work on responsibility and what that means. Every day we have an agenda on the board to help them keep on track of what their job is and what they need to complete. They are doing a wonderful job!
They are doing very well being responsible for their take home folders, books, backpacks, and 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 continued to study sound. We learned about musical instruments and the different sounds they make and how they make these sounds.

We 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 are learning more about maps and our world.
We will continue working on reading skills, adding new sight words, learning new reading strategies, and working on math facts.
