During this week, we will be learning about the importance of recycling, reusing, and reducing waste. We will celebrate Earth Day by reading stories such as Farewell to Shady Glade and The Wump World, by Bill Peet. We will also read The Lorax by Dr. Seuss. We will make posters to put around the school reminding everyone to reuse, reduce, and recycle.
In math, we will be starting Unit 9, which is about place value and fractions. We will also be exploring concepts such as capacity, symmetry, and measuring heights in this unit. Look for a parent letter to come home this week.
My daughters will be joining our class on Thursday for "Bring Your Child to Work Day." Lauren will perform a reader's theater version of "Hey, Little Ant" with me and Gina will lead the class in creating origami. It's sure to be a fun day!
The Student Council is sponsoring a Duck Race on Friday for autism awareness. It's not too late to buy a duck for $2.00.
