We are in full bloom!

Hello families,

Wow, it's hard to believe we only have 28 days of school left! We have been working hard and finally enjoying the nice weather.
We have been focusing on plants for Science. We planted grass and lima beans and learned about the plant cycle and how plants help us every day.
We planted our lima beans in paper towels!
We made adjective rainbows about ourselves to add to our garden.






We also have been focusing on our sight words. We have been practicing every day to become better readers and to be ready for second grade. Last week we took advantage of the weather and practiced outside.

Along with sight words, we have been focusing on comprehension skills such as cause and effect, characters, and main idea. When reading at home you can ask questions to help deepen their understanding of the text. I have also created some book bags that have been coming home! Please return the bags once done and I will re-fill them with new books.






We earned lunch in the classroom after everyone achieved our behavior goal! 
Even though we have a month of school left, we are still in full force. Remember to check backpacks, lots of projects that have been hanging in the classroom will be coming home soon. 
I am working on a class slideshow for the end of the year, so stay tuned!

We are 100 days smarter!


We made it! We had a blast on our 100th day of school. We made 100 day crowns, 100 dot pictures, ate 100 snacks, and of course did 100 exercises to work off those snacks!

I know the next 80 days are going to fly by! As a reminder, conferences are February 19 and 26. Also, I have updated the parent section with updated sight word and math practice. Thank you!
