April 3-7, 2017

I hope everyone had a chance to swing by for Family Dinner Night AKA Caraway City Limits.  I was out of town celebrating a friend’s birthday, so I was not able to attend, but I heard that it was an awesome event (like it is every year)! We are so lucky to have such an active PTA whose number one priority is our students!

In the future...
-Chick Fest will be Thursday, April 13- come to school dressed like a farmer!
-No school on Friday, April 14th

This week in Reading & Writing Workshop we will be finishing up our Chicken research.  We will be discussing how authors take the information they found and publish it for everyone to read.  We will continue talking about how complete sentences have a capital letter at the beginning and punctuation at the end.  The end products will be kept here to be displayed along with our Coop designs on May 18 @ KnOWLedge Night.

This week in Math we will be continuing to work with fact families as we try to find the missing part.  We are talking about how we can use both addition and subtraction to find the answer to a problem.  We will also be applying this learning to word problems in our math notebook. 

This week in Science we will wrap up our coop designs.  I will hang them in the hallway when they are complete.  We read books about chicken habitats and watched youtube videos about chicken coop designs.  Our favorite was Becky's Homestead.  Her videos taught us all about chickens and about the different types of coops you can build for your chickens.  We are so excited for our babies to hatch! After we wrap up our designs we will move on to mammals.  We will learn about mammals movement and body parts.  We will learn about their habitats, how they depend on their environment to find shelter and get food and their life cycles.

Have a great week!
