Writing:

We started a unit on Opinion Writing. Using the book Growing Vegetable Soup as inspiration, students practiced building structured opinion paragraphs. Each writer crafted an opening opinion about their favorite food, supported it with three specific reasons, and wrapped it up with a closing statement. It was great to see their personalities shine through their reasons!

Social Studies Update:

Our Studies Weekly magazine focused on “Communication Over Time” where the students learned how communication has changed from long ago to today. The Scholastic News was “What Goes Woosh?” The students learned about things that can blow in the wind. Our Amazeworks book was Our Moms. We ended the week with an April Art Project -- raindrops and an umbrella!:)

Things To Know:

MINNESOTA SPRING IS HERE!

Rain, snow, heat, cold…It’s hard to know what kind of weather to expect this time of year! Thank you for helping your child select the right gear for being outside at recess every day. If it is wet outside, please send boots with your child as the playground gets very muddy. This helps keep our classroom carpet clean! Thank you!

DODGE:

We will be going on our last field trip to Dodge on Tuesday, April 28 from 8:45 - 10:30. We will be learning about “Sounds of Nature.” Let me know if you want to help chaperone!
