Hi Parents!

Here is what we did today:

We did our poem. The poem is called It is Spring. It had some cool pictures in it like flowers and a sun. (Lyrik)

We did P.E. We had a pacer test. We got to play a game with balls called Bocce Ball. At the end of each game we got to run out and get a ball. We finally got to play in the real gym! (Mikayla and Connor)

We did writing. Writing was our Monday News. It was fun! (Andrew)

For Fundations we did our big cards and little cards. We did tapping. We sorted long –i and short –i. We got to add words on the back. (Kate)

We did Daily 5. (Layla)

We did snack. We read a book called Do You Know Which One Will Grow? It had pictures of things that don’t grow like a watch. (James)

Our project was about seeds. We put soil in a cup and poked holes. We put a handful of seeds in the cup and then Miss Tappana poured water in the cup. (Sylus)

We did math. For math we read The Sleepover. The kids played tricks. They were moving between the top and bottoms bunks. (Dylan)

We did recess. (Lyrik)

We watched a new episode in the Class Dojo series. We watched Series 2 Episode 2. Here is the link:  https://bit.ly/23l4Smp Here are some questions you can discuss with your child! It will help your child understand the message of the video and it will also benefit his/her comprehension by discussing the video after viewing.

Series 2, Episode 2 Discussion Guide
In Episode 2, “Climbing out of The Dip,” Katie learns from Ms. Clara and Mojo how to become a better artist.
1. What should you do when you make a mistake?
2. What will happen if you continue to repeat this process? Try using
the word "neuron" in your explanation!
3. So how do we escape the dip? Give a real life example (even
better, an example from your own experience).

Earth Day Homework! Please have your child bring in ONE CLEAN 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 Friday, April 22nd!
