News for April 8th-10th

We had a VERY short week…only 3 days! This week in the Reading Room, we started Young Authors. We each will be writing our own story. First we come up with our ideas, then write a sloppy copy of our story, then the teacher checks it, and we publish! We even draw our own illustrations. In Math we worked with tangrams. We made different puzzles in the shapes of things like a giraffe, a horse, a cat, and a duck. We made our own pictures using tans, too! This week we officially got rid of our regular chairs. We now sit on exercise balls all day long! It’s cool. In Science we are finishing our Human Body Theme and learning about the food pyramid and nutrition. Today we are having a healthy food party. We have a field trip coming up on Thursday, April 23rd. To celebrate Earth Day (a day late) we are going to the movie theater to see Disney’s new movie, Earth. This week on Tasty Thursday we tried asparagus, and today for Fruity Friday we are having strawberries! Speedy will even have some because he LOVES strawberries! This week on Thursday we had a Spirit Assembly and Daniela won the Caring Award for our class. Today we have another assembly. A planetarium is coming, and we will learn about dinosaurs! Speedy will be going home with Julia this weekend.
