Smoothies and a Celebration!

Important Dates:

Tuesdays: library

April Vacation - 24 - 28

Early Release - May 10

This week before vacation went by so fast! The students read a ton of books during reader's workshop each day. We finished up our place value unit (how mathematician's break apart two digit numbers). And we had a great time during the whole school celebration and making smoothies!

Smoothies:
Melissa (Charley's mom) came in and made healthy, delicious smoothies with the class. Many of the students wanted the recipe:
ice, strawberries, banana, and orange juice.

We  made so much we were able to share with Miss Willoughby's class and Mrs. Thompson's class!

Whole School Celebration:
The school filled the heart monitor again! This meant a school-wide celebration! The entire school went to the cafeteria where tables were set up for us. Then, we played several rounds of BINGO, with Sara Raabe being the number caller! The kids loved it! I think this was their favorite celebration yet!




Cleaning:
We cleaned out desks and lockers on Friday; that is why many students came home with lots of extra papers and clothing. 

Have a wonderful vacation week and I'll see you on Monday, May 1. 

Literacy:

We are moving on from nonfiction back to fiction! The students very quickly got back into their Reader's Workshop routines and are loving reading fiction books with each other. As a class, we are working on showing we are the Boss of our Reading!

Math:

We continue to work on place value. Miss Willoughby shared a great website (kahoot.it). Using this website, we played a class game on our ipads to review many of the place value concepts.
