Friday April 19th

My apologies for the late post and we usually post on Fridays and it is now Sunday.

Important Dates and Reminders:

-Return all library books after 2 weeks, return them if your child wants to keep them longer and we can renew it for them.  We have Mrs. Carde our librarian emailing us about a lot of overdue books.

-Return all book communication folders so we can send a new writing sample of your child's work home by the end of the month.

-Glacier and Sunrise's assembly is this coming Friday April 26th starting at 9:30 to about 10:15.  We hope you can join us.

Our Week:

-We have been working hard on preparing for our assembly.  Ask your child what we have been working on and what group they belong to (hint: singing with Mrs. Coulson: Oh What a Wonderful World, creating art and poems with Ms. Disher, creating a dance/creative movement and acting piece with Mrs. Pelton).

-Math: Both groups continue to work on addition and subtraction as well as the basics of fractions.  Grade one is working on the concept of one half while grade 2 continues with unit fractions up to one tenth.  Grade 2 is learning to write fractions or equal partitions of groups or shapes in various ways: 1/2, one half, 2 equal parts, etc.

-Writing: Grade One and Two are working on acrostic poems as per curriculum expectations and will be working in the future on rhyming couplets.  Kids have been practicing acrostic poems using their names and characters from our class read aloud, The Wild Robot.

-Reading:  We are taking a break from our round 3 literacy groups to reassess how students are doing before we regroup again for round 4.  All groups have been working overall on reading fluency and comprehension.

Have a fantastic night!
