It was great having time to talk to you about your child&#8217;s progress this year!  Before we know it, your child will be moving onto the next grade level.  Crazy!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our short week was packed with so much learning!  I am excited to share what we learned about this week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Did We Learn About This Week?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&quot;The Letter M Song&quot; by ABCmouse.com\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6QUSDu2JIY0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our letter this week was M.  We practiced writing the letter M by writing about it in our writing journals.  We also learned about words that start with M: mom, mouse, money, monkey, etc.  How many things do you have in your house that start with the letter M?  I challenge you to find as many things in your house that start with letter M!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/04\/IMG-4302-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/04\/IMG-4302-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"299\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/04\/IMG-4302-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/?attachment_id=299\" class=\"wp-image-299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/04\/IMG-4302-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/04\/IMG-4302-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/04\/IMG-4302-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/04\/IMG-4302-scaled.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/04\/IMG-4300-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/04\/IMG-4300-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"300\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/04\/IMG-4300-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/?attachment_id=300\" class=\"wp-image-300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/04\/IMG-4300-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/04\/IMG-4300-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/04\/IMG-4300-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/04\/IMG-4300-scaled.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We started a natural science activity this week.
