• April 25th: Bard's Birthday Bash in the morning at the college and the Fire Safety House in the

     afternoon.

CURRICULUM:

reading - Keep those reading times coming in. Reading at home is so important!!!!!

language: This week we will be delving into plurals.

spelling: I retested all the first and second grade words to make sure the kids remembered all

     they had passes off. If some words look familiar and you could swear your child has had them

     before, they must have forgotten them. So we'll review those words so there is a firm base for

     third grade.

science: So far in our animal unit we have covered five of the six vertebrate animal families. We will

     begin fish on Thursday. From there we will learn about habitats, migration, hibernation, and

     adaptation.

math: We are beginning our unit of study on money and time. It would be great if you could get a

     pocket full of coins for the kids to practice counting. Also, have them tell you the time from and

     analog clock instead of a digital one.

writing: We will be writing a narrative story about a fish adventure. They always turn out adorable.

Have a marvelous beginning of spring!
