Report Cards went home on Friday. Please sign the envelope and return it to school on Monday. You may keep the report card.

The Fun Fair on Friday was so much fun! I hope you enjoyed it!

Literacy:
We have been having a blast making our voices sound like a storyteller. In order to do this, we have
to pay attention to the punctuation and think about what is happening in the story. We reread to make it sound even better. This is so much fun and the kids are doing a great job with it.

Math:
The class started working on developing a strategy list to show all the different ways they can solve one problem. This helps the mathematicians become flexible thinkers when solving problems. When a mathematician can show their thinking in more than one way, we call it using multiple pathways.

For the rest of the unit in math, we are going to be pushing our thinking to become more flexible as we develop higher level strategies that allow us to be quicker and more accurate in our work.



Science:
We had the best time planning our own healthy meals! We use the My Plate format to make sure we had  each food group represented. After planning the meal, the students used construction paper to make the meal which will be displayed. We were all hungry for these yummy sounding meals by the end of science!



Classroom Fun:
I really hope you got outside last week and enjoyed some of the beautiful weather. We never knew what to expect each day when we walked outside for recess, but one day in particular was gorgeous! We all enjoyed the sun on our faces!
