CLASSROOM NEWS:

PreK- Pre-K has been very busy over the past few weeks.  We finished our unit on community helpers.  The parents helped us learn about the postal service by mailing us letters and packages.  The children loved getting mail.  We had a special treat when we were invited to go to the post office.  We took a mini walking field trip there.  We are now learning about spring.  In our spring unit we talk about bugs, weather and plants.  We each planted a lima bean in class, but this year they did not grow very well.    On our last day before spring break we had a party.  The children were excited to get to go on an Easter egg hunt and to dye eggs.  We will be learning about animals next. 

We will have the opportunity in May to go to the zoo.  We will get to see all the animals we are learning about!

2nd Grade- I can't believe it's already the 4th quarter!  We've been very busy in the 2nd grade.  In math we learned a lot about money and time.  Now we're learning about solid and plane shapes.  In English we just finished up learning about adjectives and how they can make our writing more descriptive.  We're currently finishing up our third literature set, Flat Stanley.  We each made a flat person to take on an adventure over Easter break.  I look forward to hearing about everyone's adventures!  In science we learned about matter and energy, and we just started a new weather unit this week.  In social studies we've learned about our nation's symbols and different kinds of holidays we celebrate.  We're currently learning about people and their jobs.  Second grade has also successfully learned all their lowercase letters in cursive.  We just started working on the uppercase letters.  Like always, we've also been doing several writing projects.  Our latest class books have been about spring, tricky leprechauns, and what we'd like to find in our Easter baskets.  Keep working hard everyone.  Summer vacation will be here before you know it!

 

 

Third grade news- The third graders are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our earthworms so we can start our mini compost.  Our tadpoles are growing fast.  We have spotted little bumps where we think the hind legs will grow.  Capitalization and punctuation are the topics of discussion in English these days.  We are learning about fractions and mixed numbers in math.  The class is extremely excited about our next compare/contrast writing assignment.  We will be comparing/contrasting our last reading story with the movie "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs."  On Monday, April 12 we will be taking our bi-annual trip to the Memorial Hospital Health Fair.

 

Fifth and Sixth Grade News-

This year is really flying by! Fifth grade is about to start their last novel, James and the Giant Peach, by Roald Dahl. It is a great book! Sixth grade just finished reading Island of the Blue Dolphins. We also watched the movie. It is great to hear students say that the book was better than the movie! Our next novel will be Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech. I can’t wait to start this book; it is one of my favorites.  Fifth grade is currently participating in the D.A.R.E. program and writing their D.A.R.E. report. They are learning a lot about drugs and alcohol, as well as how to make good decisions in everyday situations. We just finished a language unit on capitalization and punctuation in both fifth and sixth grade. Next, we will be learning about pronouns.  Fifth grade is still learning about fractions. This is a difficult concept for them. They are currently learning how to add and subtract mixed numbers. Next they will learn how to multiply and divide fractions. Enjoy this wonderful spring weather and keep reading!!

 

 

7th Grade News

The 7th grade is very excited to go to SWIC on Wednesday, April 14th for a “Welcome to the Real World” field trip.  The students have selected careers they are interested in pursuing and are anxious to find out about the workings of the real world.  We will also be enjoying our pizza party, along with the second graders, for winning the Pennies for Patients contest on that day.  In reading we are reading a mystery novel, The Westing Game.  Trying to solve the mystery is really making the kids pay attention to the details of the book.  They are of course looking forward to the next 2 months flying by so that summer will be here.
