Writing  - We learned how to write diamante poems.  

Religion - We have been learning about Adele Brise and the Shrine of Our Lady of Champion.  Monday we were lucky enough to be able to visit the Shrine!

Math - In math we worked on money - bills instead of coins!  We learned about $1, $5, $10, and $20.  We added bills together.  We worked on what bills you would use to purchase items.  We learned about giving back change.  We also worked on adding 3 one digit numbers.  We learned to look for things - such as doubles or making a 10.  We also worked on identifying geometric solids - spheres and cones. We have been reviewing telling time and counting coins.

Science - We are finishing up our animal adaptations unit.  We are on the final project - Making a shoe that a traveler would use in each of the four environments.  Each shoe had to incorporate 3 of the 4 adaptations - camouflage, protection, and locomotion.  We will present them this week.

Reading - We are working on running records and sight word checks.  The students continue to work hard in centers.  We have added suffix -es centers.  We have also been learning about tongue twisters and making them in centers.

Read-Alouds - We have finished up our Stanley series.  We read Flat Stanley, Stanley and the Magic Lamp, Stanley in Space, Invisible Stanley, and Stanley, Flat Again.  We had so much fun sending out Flat Stanleys to our friends and families!  We loved reading about Stanley's adventures and seeing pictures of Stanley!  Thank you for helping us complete that fun project!  Our last read-aloud of the year is Charlotte's Web.
