 Hello families, 

This week we planted some seeds to start in our classroom. Students will be observing and recording the changes they see over the next month. We wonder what they will turn into! Gardening club also has begun again!

 

 

 






Students have been working hard on their "Create Your Own Planet" projects!


 

In writing students published their final copies of their 5 senses poem. We also learned about the spelling patterns er/ea/ee.

Daily L.A. stations learned some new games and materials to practice our reading and spelling fluency.





In math we completed a final subtraction assessment, learned about the "make ten" strategy when adding/subtracting with 9, and fact families. Students finished their May calendars too.







We also started learning about measurement and shapes! Ask your child what the difference is between standard and non-standard measurement.





 





In Gym we began our Sound Creations dance residency! We have two more sessions next week. My favorite move is called the "stanky face"!


Tea Time Tuesday this month was great! I love seeing students practicing their practical life skills.





Wednesday was Hats on for Mental Health day. We spent some time talking about mental health and all the things we can do to help support our well-being.


In art with Ms. Davies we used clay on paper to create prairie backgrounds. Next week we will be combining all of our art for the final piece!



LBS hosted our annual Volunteer tea on Friday. Thank you to those who could not attend as well. We couldn't do it without you!
