What a
great week to play outside! We have been
able to enjoy the good weather by working extra hard in the mornings and taking
extra time at recess. This week we
learned about Earth Day and the importance of taking care of our Earth. We discussed ways we can each help to Reduce,
Reuse and Recycle. One of our favorite
stories was The Curious Garden by
Peter Brown. We learned how one little
boy was able to change and improve and entire community. We also learned about Miss Rumphius and all the beautiful wildflowers she grew, making
her community beautiful. Our caterpillars
arrived this week. We are keeping a
journal of their activities and are very excited to watch them change and
become butterflies.
Religion: This week we discovered that Jesus celebrated God’s love and invites us to do so also. We understand that Jesus is with us when we gather at Mass. We also learned that when we help and care for others we are living God’s love.

Language
Arts: This week
we blended sounds to decode words. We
identified apostrophes and recognize singular possessives. Our memory words were: put,
for. Our vocabulary words were: gull,
pet, hospital. We worked with
synonyms while reading our stories. We
used comprehension skills, focusing on recalling details and visualizing.
Math: This week we completed our unit focused on
2-dimensional shapes. We identified and
named circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, and hexagons. I was very impressed with how well everyone
did on our test!
Science: We reviewed that animals need food, water and
shelter to survive. We then learned
about dinosaurs and discussed that they would have needed the same thing to
survive.
