Dear Families,

March 27, 2015

 The month of March sure flew by fast. We found that we had many many more “lion days” than “lamb days”. It was very cold and windy and snowy!! Let’s hope for some fun in the sun in April. We will be finishing up our Dr. Seuss unit next week. We are doing a great job with rhyming and learning about word families. Your child will be bringing home a library of mini-books that they have made here in class. Please let them read them to you! Enjoy!

Our letter of the week was “Jj”. Our tongue twister was “Jeremy and Jazmin jiggle like jell-o.”

In April we will be studying about Oviparous animals. We will be learning about what an oviparous animal is and will be able to identify many stages and transformations they go through before they are born.

In Writer’s Workshop the children worked on writing informational pieces. We wrote about what you can find at an airport, in the classroom and on the playground. They did a nice job.

I wonder if your child has been talking about Salt and Pepper. They are part of our science unit. They are goldfish and the children love them. Maybe they will tell you the funny story about what happened when I brought them home last weekend.

In math, we worked on creating our own addition and subtraction stories and we also practice addition with dice. If you want to do this at home give your child two die. Have them roll them and write and solve an addition problem with the numbers they rolled. They loved this and the dots are there for them to count if they need to use them.

If you happen to see signs of spring this weekend please bring them in to share with the class.

 Have a wonderful weekend,

Fondly,

Colleen MacIntyre
