Tah-Tah Day was an absolute blast!

We had so much fun!!!

Next week we will have a different kind of fun...

We will rotate classes for special reading activities!

We will also be learning about:

Reading - Nate the Great and the Missing Stamp

English - BOOK REPORTS!!!!! They are due Monday.

We will share them orally during the week.

I hope they had a good time doing them!

Math - 2 Digit Subtraction - no borrowing

Science - Objects in the Sky

Bible - David and Goliath

Verse - Psalm 23:4

THURSDAY is the Ahna's Angel Concert at Mulder.

I can't wait! It's always so good.

Enjoy your weekend!

Sorry - I left off the due date for the book reports.

They are due next Monday the 16th!

Hopefully, by now, you've had a chance to look over our sample book report.

The children were so excited about picking their books for the individual reports!

I just want to say again that these books are not intended to be at the top of their

reading level. I wanted books that could easily be read so the focus could be the

report itself. That being said - you can absolutely read it with your child.

THEY should write the summary in their own words. YOU should double check

it for correct spelling, capitalization, punctuation, etc. I have stressed to the children

that this should not be done in 1 night. We took 4 days to work on the sample!

Next week we will be learning about:

Reading - various stories with a focus on Ira Sleeps Over

English - Letter Writing

Math - 2 Digit Addition without regrouping

Social Studies - Our Country

Bible - David

Verse - Psalm 23:3

I hope everyone has a wonderfully blessed Easter!

I hope everyone is having a fabulous break!

The weather is certainly cooperating with us.

Although our first week back is only 4 days - it will be packed!

We will be learning about:

Reading - adding -er and -est

(kinder, cutest, thinner, happiest)

The rules we've already learned will used again this week.

English - Book Reports

We will make a sample book report in class.

They will take this home along with instructions and the book

they choose on Friday.

Math - Capacity

No grades will be taken on this unit. It is simply an

introduction. We will learn the names of different

measuring tools (cups, pints, quarts, gallon) and equivalent

measurements (2 cups equals 1 pint, etc.)

Social Studies - Our Country

Bible - Easter

As you can see, we will be busy little bees!

So...rest up and enjoy your time off!

What an excellent day !!!

Eric Litwin was absolutely fabulous!!!

All of the kids have been extra sweet for me this week.

I've been battling something that has taken most of my voice away.

Hopefully, with a little rest I'll be back to full speed next week.

We will be learning about:

Reading - Plurals (-s, -es/words ending in s,x,z,ch,sh, -ies/change y to i)

English - Compound Words

Science - Air and Weather

Bible - Easter

Verse - Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father into your hands I commit my spirit." When

had said this, he breathed his last. Luke 23:46

I sent the Spelling Words home today.

The Spelling Test and Bible Verse will be done on THURSDAY!!!

Friday is a half day. The entire morning will be comprised of the Science Fest.

The kids are really enjoying Air and Weather.

I've heard several comments about wanting to be scientists

when they grow up!

Homophones (homonyms) were a blast!

We enjoyed so many fun activities with them.

We are also having lots of fun with fractions.

Their "fractionpillars" turned out so cute!

We will continue working with fractions next week.
