Good Afternoon parents and guardians!

We are having a very busy week! In science we are learning about lifecycles. Your student may have told you about, Freddie the class tadpole that we welcomed into our classroom on Monday. Everyday the children make observations and draw pictures about what Freddie looks like. In social studies we are learning about Native Americans. We made totem poles on Wednesday. On the other days we talked about the different homes Native Americans live in. In reading we are focusing on sequencing. We most recently read, "If you Give a Mouse a Cookie" and put all the events in order. In math class we are discussing patterns. Each child is encouraged to try and find at least one other pattern either at home or somewhere at school. Finally in writing we are discussing opposites. In our daily journals we are incorporating opposites as well as drawing coordinating pictures. As always if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.
