Announcements

Hi everyone,
  Hope all of you had a wonderful Spring Break! I wanted to update you on 
some upcoming events as well as what we are learning now in the classroom:

Language Arts- We are working on ABC order of words for introduction before 
going to first grade. We are also discussing compound words. The children are 
doing a wonderful job. We are so proud of them! We continue to make "star 
sentences" (beginning with uppercase letter, spacing between words, ending 
punctuation, complete thought) and writing 3 or more sentences. Please have 
your child work on this at home if time permits.We are also reinforcing vowel 
sounds, blends, and digraphs during this time.
Please continue to work on sight word lists at home and reinforce lists 1-4 
as they need to know them well going to first grade.

Math- We are discussing more than, less than (how many more than?) and 
addition skills during this time. We work on daily problems to solve as a 
class. The children are doing well with addition skills. We continue to work 
on "how many more than?" etc.

Science- We are discussing plants, Earth Day, and "oviparous" animals and 
mammals as well. We are discussing what makes them oviparous and what makes 
them a mammal. Please ask your child if they can tell you all about these 
types of animals.

Social Studies- We continue to reinforce map and globe skills. We are 
discussing cardinal directions as well as symbols and locating things on a 
map and globe. We are discussing land and water on a map.
