Events of the Week: This week our theme was plants. Our sight word was “was”.
Language Workshop: We read different books about plants and talked about what plants need to grow. Next week we will discuss the parts of a plant.
Writing Workshop: We wrote sentences about plants. Monday we wrote about what we thought would happen if we planted a jellybean. I love how creative they are! We also wrote about the parts of a plant. We are working on adding details to our writing. Our sentence writing is getting better every day! Continue to practice writing sentences at home.
Reading Workshop: Students are working daily in Literacy Centers. While students are working independently, I am meeting with small groups to focus on different reading skills. During independent reading time, students are practicing the skills they are learning during small groups and using their reading strategies. I hope that you are able to see them using these reading strategies when they are reading with you at home.
Word Study: We talked about our 5 senses. Each day we learned about one of the 5 senses and did a fun activity to reinforce what life would be like without our 5 senses. We did a taste test, a touch activity and played hearing bingo.
Math: We worked on number sense this week. We played games to reinforce all numbers 1-100 and different concepts like less, greater, addition, subtraction, and we used the 100’s chart.

Make A Wish Night
We are sponsoring a local 11 year old boy. His wish is to go to Hawaii. Our Make-A-Wish Night will be Tuesday, April 25th during the high school baseball and softball games. All profits will go to the Make-A-Wish Missouri organization. We'll have food, vendor booths, games, and a lantern ceremony. We may possibly have the wish kid there as well!
