We used the SMARTboard to complete many activities this week, including: sorting pictures based on their beginning blends, solving story problems that involve making change and showing the change in different coin combinations.
We performed our skits about being a good friend on the playground (and how to get help if you need it) for the Maple Room on Friday. We will perform them in the Sunflower Room and the Garden Room on Monday!

This week in math we worked on dividing shapes and collections of items into various fractions, and how to write the fractions (one third = 1/3). We also worked on function machines (in/out rules), particularly figuring out the "in" number when provided with the "out" number and the rule. Many students benefited from using a number line to figure out these types of problems. Finally, we worked on "name collection boxes" (different ways to make a number using addition and subtraction) with dollars/cents. The Everyday Math website offers information that can help you support your child in completing the homework. Please let me know if you need additional explanations of any of the math problems.
We are watching our tadpoles and seed sprouts grow! Check out the online resources for the science unit on new plants that we are studying. We will also be studying endangered animals.
We are studying the following words: before, after, because, use, very. Encourage your child to look for those words as they read and to use the latest word wall list when they are writing at home.
Check out the Art-Full Family Saturday at the Johnson Museum of Art (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM). Free for Museum members/$5 per family for nonmembers. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
