In reading this week we are looking into the essential question: How do we decide wha't important? We will focus on the skills of making predictions, theme, and root words. We will be using our writing time to prepare for the wax museum.
In math this week we will continue to work on perimeter and begin learning about area. We will also start introducing some geometry.
We are in need of some white board (dry erase) markers. We've worked through the stash we had from the beginning of the year. If you are able to send in a couple to get us through that would be greatly appreciated!
Wax Museum
It's Wax Museum week! The kids have been working very hard on their projects and I can't wait to see them come to life Friday in the wax museum. The event will be on Friday, April 20th from 8:30-9:15 in the gym. Please come see your kiddo and his/her classmates!!
We are doing a dress rehearsal on Thursday, April 19th from 1:30-2:00. I would love to have the kids practice in their costumes just so they are used to it. If you are able to send their costumes with them to school that day that would be wonderful! We will be performing for a couple 1st and 2nd grade classes just to get the jitters out and have some good practice before Friday morning.
Then on Friday morning your child can come to school in their costume and just bring a change of clothes. We will essentially be coming in and getting ready to head to the gym. If they don't want to come to school in their costume they are welcome to quickly change here. I will be in the room from 8:00-8:15 to help them get ready if needed. Thank you for all your help and support on this project, they are pretty excited! If you have any questions please let me know!
