April 7, 2017

*This Friday, is a Beach Day spirit day.  Students are invited to wear Hawaiian shirts, shorts (if the weather cooperates which it looks like it will,) sunglasses, hats.  No bathing suits.

*This Friday, we will enjoy a Skydome Presentation to learn about our sky and universe.  This will introduce us to our new Science unit called "Sky Patterns."  To learn more about the skydome visit, http://www.mobileedproductions.com/sky-dome-portable-planetarium-school-assemblies.  This assembly is put on my donations collected for the PTO.  Your donations for the Race for Education at the beginning of the year helped fund this program and programs like it.

*This Friday, it an 12:20pm Early Release.  We will not have lunch at school.  We will have snack together in the morning.

*In Math, we will work on fractions and 2-D and 3-D shapes.  We will also begin our unit on coins.  The coins unit is a supplemental math unit to address Massachusetts Math Frameworks.  We will work on coins on Fridays during math centers.

*This past week, we went to the Library to gather research information on our pond animals.  We will use the notes students prepared to begin writing our informational books.

*We are finishing up our Social Studies unit on Maps & Globes.  Students did fabulous map drawings of their desks using Bird's Eye View.  We began calling ourselves mapmakers or cartographers (if you're a fancy mapmaker.)
