Dear Families,

April 1, 2016

Happy April! If the saying “April showers bring May flowers” holds true then we are certainly off to a good start. We had a very productive month of March.The students thoroughly enjoyed our Dr. Seuss unit and learned so much about rhyming and word families through his style of writing. They also read many books by P.D. Eastman who we learned studied under Dr. Seuss and whose books all have the Dr. Seuss label on them.  Thank you to all of you who were able to come in and read to the class. The students really enjoyed hearing your favorite books. If you weren’t able to come in but would like to please let me know and I can arrange something with you.

Through our Being A Writer program we read and learned from more poetry. We wrote poems as a class and individual poems about our favorite fruits, vegetables and sandwiches. We even learned what an Acrostic poem is and wrote one in class about CORN. Ask your child about it, they should be able to tell you!

In science, we finished up our study on fish and I am happy to say all the fish have been adopted.. Thank you!!

We also began a study of earthworms and redworms. We learned the parts of the worm and observed how they move. We learned how important they are for our gardens and we even learned that they have not one but five hearts!

In math, we are revisiting shapes, adding and subtracting within 10 and counting to 100. We are excited that today marked our 130th day of school and counted by 1’s, 5’s and 10’s to get there.

Due to the snow day, our graduation will now be on June 21st instead of June 20th. Please be sure to mark your calendars and save the date!

I hope you all have a nice weekend!

Sincerely,

Mrs. MacIntyre
