Hi Parents,

Here is what we did today!

We did math.  For math we came up with combinations of 10.  (Pritish)

We did Fundations.  For Fundations we did guess my word.  (Aidin)

In Daily 5 we got to make our choices. It is important. (Blair)

We did music.  In music we had a lockdown drill.  (Adeline)

We did writing.  We wrote one or two letters to our third grade buddies.  (Emily)

We did read aloud.  For read aloud we read a book called Rainy Weather Days.  (Zain)

We did morning buzz.  We got to talk about our favorite math workstations or what we will do for the weekend.  (Kate and Adeline)

Announcements

Guided Reading books are coming home today! Please have your child read these to you over the weekend. Also please make sure these are returned on Monday! I have attached a great resource on some things we work on in reading groups that you can do at home!

Earth Day Homework! Please have your child bring in ONE item that can be recycled (detergent bottle, soda bottle/can, aluminum can,  glass jar, magazine, newspaper, paper, plastic water bottle, small cardboard box, cereal boxes, pasta box, etc.). Please make sure the plastic items are labeled 1-7! We will be using these on Earth Day which is Wednesday, April 22nd!

On Monday, April 20th we will have a Girls on the Run day at MCE!!
If you are not familiar with GOTR, it is a wonderful program that I sponsor here at MCE! This program works to inspire girls grades 3-5 to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. The goal of the program is to unleash confidence through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness.
The girls have been training since January to prepare for their upcoming 5K race! On April 20th the girls will be doing their practice 5K at Mill Creek after school.

MCE staff will be showing their support for this great organization and all their hard work this season by holding an Athletic Wear Day (or GOTR colors: pink and lime green)! If your child would like to participate they can!! We are also working to raise money for their scholarship fund. If you would like to contribute this is totally optional! Teachers are donating $2 a person. Thank you!


Have a great weekend!
