Week ending 3/31/17

It's the end of March already!  Can you believe we start April tomorrow?  2 1/2 months of school left!

Important information:

• Friday, April 14th, there is no school and then school vacation starts.  
• If you have any cleaning wipes or paper towels you'd like to donate, we'd love to take them off your hands! 

3, 2, 1 things we've been working on this week...

3 writing activities we worked on as we started our new opinion unit were writing opinion letters to someone about what they thought of a class read aloud, getting energy for their writing by talking with a peer, and choosing a character they have an opinion about by rereading their favorite books.  

*Ask your child which book and character they have chosen to begin writing about.

2 math activities we used to practice our measuring skills were working with a partner to measure our arm spans and working in teams to measure our jumps, both in inches and centimeters.  

* Ask your child to tell you about inches and centimeters.   

1 activity we worked on in literacy was making inferences based on a poem we read together.  

* Ask your child what animal they inferred the poem to be talking about and how they knew that.
