Reading - We are continuing to meet in our reading groups.  In centers our word work focus is synonyms. (Words that mean the same thing.)






Writing - Everyone has now finished their non-realistic fiction stories.  They are so funny!  Some examples of the stories some of the students wrote - a story about turning tiny and going into a gingerbread house, a story about turning into a gecko, and a story about being in Minecraft.  We shared our stories with our kindergarten friends and they shared their stories with us.


Phonics - We are learning about the Vowel-Consonant-e Syllable.  This is when there is a word that has a consonant, a vowel, a consonant, and a silent e.  (Example - name)  The silent e makes the vowel say its name.







Religion - We have been learning about Holy Week.  Each day we watch a Brother Francis video walking us through Lent themes.  We have also been working out of our Promise books.  The virtues that we have been learning about are prudence and responsibility.  






Math - We have been working on using hundreds charts to add and subtract groups of tens.

Sceince - We started our new PLTW unit - Animal Adaptations.  We listened to the introduction story.  In activity 1 we learned about four adaptations - camouflage, food, protection, and locomotion.  




We have been getting our Stanley mail back!  The students love when Mrs. Davister brings our mail into the classroom for us to open up!  It has been fun learning about different places in the world from our letters!








Our class auction project!

Have a great week!

Our Flat Stanleys are starting to come back to us!  They have gone on some great adventures!  

We have a Flat Stanley map.  We are keeping track of where our Stanleys have gone.  Some of our Stanleys even went on vacation to more locations with our family members and friends.


Here are some pictures of us with our Stanleys and their stories.  We are waiting for a few more Stanleys to return.  We're hoping they come back soon!









The Holy Cross Auction is coming up on April 11th. I made a class book for an auction item. The students all love it and are hoping you will bid on it.  :)  Here's a preview.




Have a great week!
