We are starting a new month, and a new quarter. We have learned a lot in the last month and have so much more to look forward to in the month to come. In Math, we are continuing to practice writing and making numbers in the teens. I am amazed with how well we are able to add and subtract! We are learning the partners of numbers so quickly! Through the rest of the school year we will continue working with teen numbers, and finding the partners of numbers with our Tiny Tumblers. Using 'The Night Sky" we worked together to find all the partners of 10. Thank you for continuing to support your child at home and help with their math homework. Reading: In reading, we have started Daily 5. Students get a chance to choose read to self, read to someone, writing, word work, and next week we will add listen to reading. This is independent work time while I meet with students and small groups to practice skills and our reading strategies. We are continuing to learn reading strategies to help us become better readers. So far we have learned Eagle Eye, Lips the Fish, Stretchy Snake, and Flippy Dolphin. You can continue to practice these strategies when reading with your child at home. Excellent job! During Lent, we are continuing to learn about Jesus and how we can become more like him. I hope you all have a wonderful Easter! Please continue to watch the weather and send the appropriate clothing for your child to play outside for recess. Let’s pray for more warm and beautiful days so the leaves can start budding and the flowers can start blooming. In Science we learned about dental health and how it's important to take care of our teeth. One way is to make sure we don't have a lot of sugary foods, because every time the sugar causes plaque to grow in our mouths. We saw this through the experiment above. In the top container there is just water and yeast, the bottom has water, yeast, and sugar. You can see how the yeast has reacted to the sugar, just like plaque does in our mouths! I still have some extra toothbrushes if anyone would like some extras for at home. Please let me know.
