Hello Everyone,

Hopefully Spring is here to stay! Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather. Hopefully the warm weather will settle in very soon.

It is hard to believe that another month has almost gone by. June is going to be another busy month.

I would like to welcome our new student, Charles to our class.  The students were so excited to meet Charles on Tuesday and they have all been very helpful with helping him learn our school and classroom rules and routines.

I hope all of you were surprised to receive your letters in the mail. The students were thrilled to write the letters and to put them in the mailbox.  They were also very excited about their Mother's Day Painting and special Mother's Day writing.  I hope you enjoyed that too.



Here is some of what we're doing this week and into June.

Language Arts

The students are beginning to study poetry. They will be learning about and writing different types of poetry over the next few weeks. This is always a very enjoyable and creative unit. 

Math

We have completed our units on time, temperature, calendar and fractions. We are working on a new on Measurement, Area, Perimeter. Please ensure that your child is completing the IXL activities on a weekly basis. It is a great way to reinforce what we have been learning in class. 

Science

We are continuing our unit about Growth and Change in Animals. The students have been learning about the six classifications of animals and over the next  few weeks the students we will be learning about the life cycles of a frog and the butterfly and a few other animals.
