Dear families,
It finally feels like spring! The students were so happy to see the sunshine and warmer temperatures yesterday.
I have sent home the snow pants that were left in the our room with students on Wednesday. If your child is missing any of their winter snow gear, check the lost and found as many items piled up there over the winter!
We read the story Otis and the Tornado this week. We continued to discuss character traits of the bull and Otis. The bull was arrogant and mean. Otis showed compassion for the bull when he saved him during a tornado.We wrote about the story and worked on these vocabulary words: teetering and chorus.
We discussed the viewpoints of the bull and Otis and the other farm animals and did a thinking routine called circle of viewpoints.
We are continuing to work on poetry in writing. Students experimented with line breaks this week and adding details to their poems!
We have completed unit 7 in math. Today we take the unit 7 test. We will begin unit 8 on Monday. Look for a family letter to come home soon detailing the unit.
We began a new science unit this week on Plants and Life cycles. We have planted Brassica plants and will observe the next few weeks. We have several more plants to plant/observe over the next month and a half.
Next week we have a half day on Friday, April 27th!
Please send in field trip permission slips and $11.00 for your child. If you are a chaperone, we also need your $11.00.
Thank you and enjoy the sunshine today!
Mrs. Scheck
