Week ending 4/8/16

It's Friday families!  It was so nice to see many of you here this morning with us to read to your child!  Thank you to those of you that welcomed another student to read with you when their family couldn't make it.  Very much appreciate that!

Important information:

• Monday, the 11th, is the first home game for the Red Sox.  If your child has any Red Sox gear, they should wear them to help celebrate!  If not, they can wear red, blue, or white.  If not…now problem!  
• Next Friday, the 15th, is our field trip to the Chinese Cultural Center.  Please be sure your child is on time and ready to go.  Getting a good night's sleep and having a good breakfast can be very helpful! 
• For the field trip…be sure to send your child in with a bag lunch either in a brown paper bag or plastic bag from Shaws or Target, etc.  Please do not send your child in with a regular lunch box to take with us for lunch.  
• You may send your child in with a snack to have when we return from the field trip.  

3, 2, 1 things you need to know about our week…

3 skills we've worked on in math are measuring with a meter stick, a tape measure, and what linear measurement is.  We used students to measure the length of our classroom by laying down head to feet.  We found out that our classroom is 8 kids long!  We also talked about how I could not go to the store and ask for a rug 8 kids long.  They wouldn't know what I meant!  Ask your child why that doesn't work.

2 writing activities we've been working on writing workshop are completing a graphic organizer for our ideas to write a book recommendation.  Some of us are on the next step of beginning our book awards.

1 activity we've learned this week is "Double Double This This".  Ask your child if they remember how to play.
