Happy Friday everyone! We had another busy week, as you will see in pictures below. We started our garden. The kids had so much fun cleaning the garden out and planting the seeds. We also began our animal research project. We will use this project to help us write our class book. And of course we learned about the true meaning of Easter. Each day this week we opened a few Easter eggs that held part of the Easter story. We finished up our week with a painting.

Next week will continue to be busy as we finish up our animal reports and get ready to turn in our final draft to be published! Please remember to fill out the sheet saying if you would like a class book. If you do not want one, please check no and return it. It is due Friday!!!!!

Next week in reading we will be reviewing what we have learned over the last month. Friday will be our test.

In math we have started our addition and subtraction tests. The students are doing great! As we go in to the end of the year, we get to do what I call fun math, measurement, shapes, and position. As we wrap our math curriculum we will review everything we have learned and begin to look at first grade concepts. I really cannot believe we are starting to wrap up our year!!!

- In science we are celebrating earth week. We will learn about why recycling is important, and how we can reduce and reuse items.

- Our Bible story this week is the Ten Lepers. In this story only one man comes back to tell Jesus thank you. So our character building trait this week will be being thankful in our everyday lives, and we will be practicing what that looks like!

-Lastly in writing, we are continuing to write fiction stories. We are focusing on learning about characters, setting, and creating a clear beginning, middle, and end. This may sound like alot, however, their stories go something like this "Hello kitty went to the park. She played on the swings and slide. She went home." Some students do more and some are just working on this.
