Save the Date – Field Trip!

The Young 5’s will be taking a field trip to the Detroit Zoo on Monday, April 25th

We will need chaperons!  Permission slips will come home next week.

Science Fair Boot Camp

Thursday, April 21st, 6:00 p.m.

Come see the display boards of student projects and visit different areas of the school that will have hands on Science activities.

What We Did This Week

Our new high-frequency words this week were, “me” and “my”

In math we focused on “flat” 2 dimensional shapes, next week we will discuss 3 dimensional shapes.

We wrote in our journals

We worked in our poem books

We attended an assembly, music concert and PBIS reward party

In handwriting we are working with “slanted letters” (we practiced letter K this week)

In Science we walked through the Scientific Process with our “Growing Gummy Worms” experiment.

We visited Mrs. Schropp’s room today while they put new windows in our classroom.  Mrs. Schropp’s class will visit us on Monday.

Students are bringing home their Science Fair Boot Camp project today.  Attached are the materials you need, directions and headings for your student’s display board.

The project was modeled in class this week.  Students should be able to guide you through the project.

The project basically walks students through the Scientific Process – so as you complete the project talk to them about their “hypothesis”, their “observations”, and their “conclusion”.

Help them record their findings on the display board with the included headings.  These display boards will be on on the night of Science Fair Boot Camp.

Have fun and good luck!

Daily 5

We will not be doing Daily 5 today or tomorrow.  We will not need the parent volunteers.

You may have noticed that Lindbergh School is getting new windows.

I will be attempting to finish our weekly lessons because our time in our classroom may be cut short this week.  We may be combing with Mrs. Schropp’s class Friday in her room so that the new windows can be installed in our classroom.

PBIS Positive Behavior Reward

Don’t forget that our reward party for March is this Friday.  The students will be watching some of the Tiger’s opening day game.  Students are welcome to bring a “junk food” snack and wear their Detroit Tigers gear.

Hello!

We will not have Daily 5 tomorrow.

We are doing an egg hunt instead.

Thanks!

Just a reminder that Wednesday is Pajama Day!  Students can wear their PJ’s to school for 1.00 (this is a “Leader In Me” fundraiser).

Coming home in your student’s red folder is a March is Reading Month Calendar.   The activities on it are optional.  Some of them are nice activities to recognize reading month.
