Update April 29th

*The warm weather is coming!  Please dress students in layers. While the mornings are still cool, during the warm weather months our classrooms can quite warm!  Please be sure to send kiddos in with short sleeves under warmer clothes.  Also, please continue to send in water bottles from home that can be refilled throughout the day.  We take water breaks often to recharge and allow for movement breaks.

*In Math, our focus will be on 3D Shapes (sphere, cylinder, cube, rectangular prism.)  We will also learn about telling time to the half hour.

*In Writing, we will begin to write our final drafts of our Pond Animal Research groups.  Last week, the class researched "wow facts" about their animals.  Everyone had the opportunity to share their facts with their home table and then we shared out all together on the rug.  Many students shared facts they learned from another student.

*Last week you received Parent Input Forms for 2nd grade.  We will begin to place students in their classes for next year.  Your input is helpful to the process.  Forms are due this Monday, April 30th.

*On Wednesday, the Museum of Science's Starlab will be coming to Robinson.  This inflatable planetarium will allow the students to learn more about the sun, moon and stars.  Learn more here: Starlab

*This Friday, I will send home the 2nd Distance Learning Assignment.  This assignment is all about Space and coordinates well with our Science unit on Sky Patterns.  It is due back to school on Friday, May 18th.  I will submit attendance on May 19th.

*On Friday, our book buddies will come to Robinson to meet with us.  The first graders and fourth graders enjoy reading to each other.

*Students will be practicing for their Bugs and Blossoms play this week.  We hope you'll join us next Friday, May 11th at 2:00pm for our show!

*The Robifulli Family Fest is coming up on Friday, May 11th from 5-7:30.  Mrs. Grimm's class and our class are creating a fun "outside play" basket to raffle off at the fest.  We've received a lot of great stuff.  We'll continue to accept donations until this Friday, May 4th.  Please no more sidewalk chalk, we have plenty.   :)
