Hooray for Easter and Spring Break!!! I wish everyone a safe travel to Florida (and other places that the kids have been mentioning to me) and to Grandparents, friends, and family homes.

When we return, here’s what will be happening…

After reading a play about An Ant and The Grasshopper we will create a Frayer Diagram to record characters, setting, Author’s Purpose, and a favorite part of a story.   Lots going on in here.

MATH-We’ll be working with subtraction,  using 10 Frames, and we’ll play a Math Game with our Buddies.  Please work with Subtraction at home.  Use real happenings in your home to illustrate/use subtraction.  

SCIENCE-We planted some seeds last week.  As SCIENTISTS, while wearing our lab coats and safety glasses, we observe our plant, check for similarities from last week, look for differences from last week, and record our observations in our Science Journal.  We date each entry, draw a picture of what we see, and write 2-3 sentences about our findings.  We are real Scientists!  I’ll post some pictures from today.

Again, have a Blessed Easter and Spring Break.
