Hello Families!

In Math, we have been learning about fractions. We have identified fractions of different shapes by dividing them into equal parts such as halves, fourths, or thirds. Last week, after reading a story called Give Me Half! We decided to share one half or one fourth of a cookie with a friend.

In Science, we have been studying the weather and learning about different types of clouds. After reading several nonfiction books about clouds, we made our own cumulus, cirrus, and stratus clouds out of cotton balls. 

We filled up our class marble jar…

…and we are going to celebrate! We plan to watch a movie and have a special snack on Friday, April 11^th.  Students may bring in their own parent-approved special snack from home to have during the movie.  Students may also bring in a G rated movie. We will vote on which movie to watch. Please contact me with any questions.

Classroom supplies

Thank you to families who have donated supplies! We are still running low on shared classroom supplies such as disinfecting wipes, tissues, and dry-erase markers. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated.

             

Enjoy the weekend!
