April 23-27:

In Language Arts,students are finishing up their own version of 
their "Chocolate Fever" stories.  Each student must make sure they have a 
clear beginning, middle, and end to their story.  They need to include 
details, correct spelling, capitalization, and punctuation.  Each student is 
then typing their story on the computer. Students are also working on other 
stories.

In math, we are working on word problems and subtraction.

We are continuing our PYP Unit of Inquiry which is titled, "How We Express 
Ourselves."  In this unit of study, we are learning that individuals 
express their creativity and emotions in different ways.  We are focusing 
on three basic things - ways people express themselves, sharing our feelings 
through expression, and using creativity to express ourselves. We have been 
listening to music and writing about what the music makes us feel and think 
about.  We have also been turning "Squiggles" into something special.  Each 
student gets some kind of mark made on their paper by me, and they turn the 
squiggle into somehing and write about it.  We are also listening to poetry 
and some students have written their own poems.  We are discovering that 
poems can be serious as well as humorous and it is one way that people 
express themselves.

We read a book and have created a classroom mural that goes along with the 
story. We are excited for you to see it when you come to our classroom.  It 
is very creative and expressive.

Please keep in mind the following upcoming events:

Wednesday, May 2nd - All baggie books must be turned in for inventory.
Wednesday, May 2nd - First grade will have our Afternoon of Expression from 
1:30 - 3:30.  Join us in the classroom to hear and see what we've been doing 
this year.
