First full week of April

I hope all my friends had a Hoppy three day break and are ready to get back to school!
This week we will reviewing what good writers do and will also be talking about how we can add our thoughts and feelings into our stories!
In math we will be making a teen number book and focusing on the ten in each teen number. We will be continuing to work on addition and subtraction and using different strategies to solve different equations as well as telling story problems! We will also be making a drawing of partners of ten for a classroom display!
In literacy we will be talking about how we can be good citizens. Our vocabulary words are citizen, respect, tidy, hauled, and necessary. We will be reading "Hen Hears Gossip", "The Little Red Hen", and "Team Up To Clean Up" and focusing on rereading and making connections! In our crabby books we will read "We Can Play" and in guided reading either "Mike Helps Out" or "Clive and his Friends". We will be learning the words "play" and "has" and focusing on the long i vowel sound too - it is so amazing to see my friends pick up all of the letter combinations that make the vowels long- although the combination we see most often is vowel/consonant/silent e.

Also remember the LPS backpack walk is this Saturday, April 11th at 10:00.
And this week please look for information coming home about our field trip on Wednesday - if you would like to donate to help with the cost of our tshirts you can go to this link or you can talk to me!
