Friday March 22nd

Important Dates and Reminders:

-Have a great spring break!  School starts back up Tuesday April 2nd.

-Please see the EHS connect on the school website for important information and updates.

-Please return blue folders once you have had the chance to look at the work inside.  February we sent home a writing sample and March we sent home some math.  April we will send another sample of your child's work.

Our Week (was short but lots of great stuff!):

-Ask your child what happened in our Wild Robot Escapes book 2.  We are excited that a movie is coming out in the fall!

-Math: Grade 1's are working on learning about 1/2 and Grade 2's are learning about 1/4, 1/6, 1/8 and 1/10.  Both grades are working on the understanding that fractions involve dividing/sharing/partitioning into equal pieces or groups.  Below are some great stories and resources about fractions and what we are learning:

-Literacy:  We continue to work every day in our literacy groups.  Ask your child what they have been working on.  We are focusing on comprehension and reading fluency (using all the phonemic awareness and phonics and applying it to how we read).

-Science and Social Studies:  We are moving away from our community unit in Social Studies to start some Science after spring break!

Have a great Spring Break!
