Week 23 Update

This week in Language Arts, we read the book Sheep Take A Hike. It was full of rhymes and we discussed cardinal directions; north, south, east, and west. We even recreated part of the story and left a trail of clothespins as we "hiked" around the school, like the sheep did in the book with their fur.
We also added the words "go" and "for" to our word wall, which now has 24 words. Next week, we will be reviewing these words so that the children can read, spell, understand and use the words before we add more words to the word wall.
As for their leveled reading books, the children will receive a new book next week. The children will work with their books for one to two weeks at a time. It is important to let them read their books to you every night as they are practicing their reading fluency!

In Math, we continued Chapter 9: Measurement by exploring capacity and weight. We used words such as longer, taller, shorter, measure, estimate, heavier, and lighter to compare objects. Next week, we will conclude Chapter 9 by discussing area and reviewing all measurement concepts. 

Next week, the children will be dismissed at 11:15. Any changes in transportation must be submitted at least 48 hours in advance. 

On Thursday, March 21st, we will invite Mothers in for a special tribute in honor of Mother's Day
