Today we continued working on our Mother’s Day projects during writing. In math, we compared two-dimensional and three-dimensional figures. We also counted how many faces, edges, and veritces a 3-D shape has and how many sides and vertices a 2-D shape has. In Science, we put together a book about sense and read it with a partner.

In music we drew pictures with oil crayons of an old time radio. We are starting Ch. 11 in math – Geometry and Shapes. Tomorrow starts lesson 1 over two-dimentional shapes. We have also noticed that the temperature outside is going up! It is great during recess.

Spelling test tomorrow. Our words are: must, because, does, part, even, your, their, how, many, these, people, through, much, and also.

Today is Earth Day! We read our Scholastic News about Earth Day and learned that we should help the enviornment by recycling (items like computers, cell phones, paper, and plastic) and not littering trash. We need to work hard not to pollute the air so we can breathe.

We read Strega Nona: Her Story. We worked in groups to draw pictures of Strega Nona and Big Anthony. We wrote three characteristics of each character.

Music tomorrow!

Today in math we ordered numbers from least to greatest and greatest to least. The numbers were between 100-999. During our shared reading time we read Strega Nona by Tomie dePaola. We wrote what happened in the story on sentence strips and put them in order of the story.

We had fun in techonology and listened to Cade and Mrs. Elder read us a book.

Tomorrow is P.E.

Today in class we compared numbers to 999 during math time. We read My School is a Zoo and starting writing our own version of the story at Writer’s Workshop.

Please sign and return report cards tomorrow. Also look for the reading passage practice in our folders.

Mrs. VanBrocklin will be out tomorrow. Remember to be a CHAMP for our substitute!

We played Three Little Wolves in PE. It was a lot of fun!  During Writer’s Workshop we read a book called Courage and wrote about a time we had courage. We shared with the class. We are still finishing our Eric Carle paintings and stories.

Tomorrow is PE and Kindergarten Round-up. Morning Meeting will be in the Music room.

Today in Math we worked more with hundreds, tens, and ones. We played our online math game called Critter Junction.  Today was our library day. We always enjoy library time with Mrs. Elder.

Tomorrow is PE. Don’t forget to wear tennis shoes.

I hope you all had a Happy Easter!
