Dear Parents,
I’d like to share a few things we are doing in the class. In
Science, we are studying plants. We will be planting seeds and recording its
growth. We are learning parts of the plant and learning how water reaches the
leaves in a plant. As a class, we added food coloring to water and placed celery
in the water. We observed that the leaves turned red after 24 hours. We tried the same experiment using the blue
food coloring.
We will begin our unit on Building Things. We are making
robots. Therefore, we will need toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls, a few
small boxes for the body, arms, face, and legs. Please bring these items by
Thursday. In May we will be building other items as well, and we will need
other items as well. Please bring extra items to share with others.
In Math, we have started our unit on Measurement. We are
also working on adding and subtracting numbers from 10-20. This week, we will
be exploring those numbers using manipulative. We have been playing Smartboard games in Math to practice our numbers. I encourage the students to continue to practice numbers 50-100.
In French, we have been talking about Spring and writing
sentences about weather and activities we do during Spring.
In Social Studies, we are talking about the past, and comparing
life to the present.
The Desk Fairy came to visit our class, and I’m happy to say
she though every student deserved a reward for having a clean desk. I hope she
will visit us soon again.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact
me.
