May 14th Newsletter

Dear Parents and Guardians,
This week we will be continuing to work on our nonfiction writing pieces.  The students are really having fun writing about things they know a lot about!  Most of the kids are beginning to work on their second nonfiction piece.  Hopefully you were able to have your child read their first piece to you that they brought home!  If they haven't brought one home yet, they will be bringing one home soon!  During community writing, we will be writing pages in our class alphabet book about the ABC Countdown to summer.

In math we will make, read, and answer questions about tally charts and bar graphs.  We will survey the students in our class and create a graph to represent the data.  We will also learn proper number formation.

This week in science we will be focusing on parts of a plant and the life cycle of plants.  This week, watch for a Seesaw video as the students will be taking a picture of all of the seeds/vegetables that they have been observing/watering.  They'll even explain a bit about the life cycle.  Special thanks to Miles mom, again, for making this possible for our students!

THANK YOU for all of the wonderful and thoughtful gifts for Teacher Appreciation last week.  I felt very appreciated!
