Week Ending 3/23

This has been a busy week,

Important Information:

• Even with the temperatures becoming a bit warmer, be sure to still send snow pants and boots so your child can go on the field and the play structure at recess as it's still snow covered. 
• Friday, March 30, there is no school.

3, 2, 1 things you should know about our week...

3 math skills we worked on this week comparison number stories, understanding and discussing data, and stretching our minds with some more logical and thoughtful work.  

2 stories we focused on as we began our folktales tale unit were The Lion and the Mouse and The Ant and the Grasshopper.  We have been working on understanding what folktales are, comparing them to realistic fiction, and understanding the lessons in the stories we read.  

Ask your child what the difference is between folktales and realistic fiction and what the lesson was in The Ant and the Grasshopper. 

1 activity we did was fly to China.  We were visiting Mexico and now we've moved into China.  Perfect timing for our field trip today to the Chinese Cultural Center.
Ask your child 3 activities we participated in on our trip.
