With Monday gone as a holiday, this week flew by. So many exciting things happened, We had our spring concert, our field day, and our service learning report out. It was great to see so many parents at both the concert and the field day cheering on their little ones. If you want to see times for your child's runs, or distances for their jumps, you can see the report outside the main office. In Math we are continuing to work on writing and solving word problems, addition fluency, and fractions of a whole. We learned a new card game to help with addition fluency this week that can be played with a standard deck of cards. Have your child teach you at home! In Language Arts, we have had a lot of fun with idioms. We learned a whole bunch of silly sayings, illustrated them, and practiced writing sentences. I will post them here, or in our little learners portfolios tomorrow or early next week. We have grazed the surface of our new UOI on Explorers this week, but will be getting down to it learning about landforms next week. I am so excited to see our little explorers in action! This week, we had our service learning report out events on Tuesday night at the concert, and on Wednesday morning at the ASA cafe. If you were unable to attend these events, or did not see our board, I have posted a picture of the board, and the accompanying text below.
