May 2nd - May 6th

I don't know what happened, but I think I forgot yesterday was Monday and I didn't write a blog.  I apologize for being a day late!

We are having a great time with the ABC countdown.  We went for a walk yesterday through the cemetery and around the school.  Today we are dressed in green and going to help clean up around the school and outside.  Each student knows they have to have their homework complete in order to participate in the countdown that day.

We do have a spelling test this week.  We all have the same list because we are studying contractions, which we all need to know well.

Our chicks are due to hatch tomorrow.  We are all very excited and can't wait for that first pip hole to appear.  We will keep you updated on our new additions as they start to arrive.

In Science we are studying about animal habitats and we are making a habitat mobile in class.  They are using the chromes to look up information and drawing a picture of each habitat.  The mobiles are looking great!

We are on our last newspaper in Social Studies.  Last month I had three students lose their newspapers.  We only order enough for the class and their aren't any extras.  These newspapers are a large part of their grade.  They should be kept in a safe folder at school unless they have homework in them.

In Math we are going to begin working on fractions.

I posted a number of pictures from Beach Day.  The students worked on their towels on the floor.  In the pictures they are researching on the chromes for their habitat mobiles.
