Have a great Spring break everyone!

Reminder for t-shirts! We will be tie-dying on Wednesday, April 5th.
I was told that Michaels has their Gideon t's on sale for $2.  Child to Adult sizes in White.  Should be in sale through Saturday.  

Another parent told me that Joann's also has a good deal with the 40% off coupon!

Also just a heads up that we WILL be allowing electronics on the bus ride to the Science Center on April 7th. Students will need to be responsible for their own items, though!

It has been a great past couple of weeks.  The students are really enjoying learning from Ms. Weber. 
In writing, students have been working on an opinion piece.  We read two stories, The Three Little Pigs and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.  We then formed an opinion of who is telling the truth, the pigs or the wolf.  We are backing up our opinion with strong reasons and examples.

In math we are starting our next unit, three digit addition and subtraction!  The students just took their place value to 1,000 test yesterday, and they did an amazing job.  The students have also been practicing their math facts through a program called Rocket Math. We are preparing for our math-a-thon in April.  Please make sure you are working on your pledges if your family is able to participate!

For shared reading, we spent a lot of time learning about character traits.  We pick out traits based on how characters act or think. We came up with a huge list of traits that continues to grow.  We also talked about how characters can change over time, and how their traits will change as well.  We even compared and contrasted several characters.

Thank you to anyone who has brought in items for our service learning project!
