We have really enjoyed the nicer weather. It's great to be able to go outside with just a light coat or even no coat at all! Hooray for spring!

We had a great time with St. Michael College Professor John Tapper's science museum! Professor Tapper's students created hands-on science activities. I think we could have stayed there all day!

Literacy:
We have started our new reading unit. This unit is all about story elements. We are working more with comprehension and deepening our understanding about how stories work. We will be looking at different book series and looking at themes in books.

We also started a new writing unit. We are learning how to write our own stories! We are having fun created our own characters and having them go on adventures!

Math:
Wow! we had super math thinking this week, including some amazing conjectures as we developing our understanding of part, part, whole in addition and subtraction. More on this next week!
