We had a
very exciting thing happen today! We
were able to hear one of our baby chicks pecking and scratching inside the
egg! Hatch day is upon us!
We watched
video tutorials by Becky's Homestead (youtube) to teach us more about chickens
and coops. She helped us think about what we needed to have in our
chicken spaces. Today, we began designing our coops on paper and soon we
will begin building! Thank you for sending in materials for the boys and girls
to use. We will be finishing them up by Friday.
Party
for Celebrating Mrs. Sanders:
On April 17th we
will celebrate Mrs. Nelda Sanders and her 50 years of dedication to education.
We will honor her with a come and go reception in the library beginning at 3:30 p.m. We are collecting
memories, stories, and photos of Nelda from over the past 50 years. You can
either share in the linked form or write a memory on any kind
of stationary. You can deliver to Caraway Elementary or bring with you the day
of the celebration. We look forward to hearing from you! If you have any
questions, please email lisa_costello@roundrocki
If you would like to participate, our
celebration is a "Groovy 60's" theme (students may
dress in 60s attire at school on April 17th).
No gift needed, your presence is gift

This
week in Reading Workshop...
We
will feature a Read Aloud this week all about diverse cultures. We will
discuss comprehension strategies such as making connections, inferring and
retelling the story. We will discuss how celebrations can be the same or
different for different cultures.
This
week in Writing Workshop...
We
will complete our Chick Research Project. We've collected our facts by
reading from different sources of information such as books, websites and
watching short videos. Now we are ready to teach others about what we
learned.
This
week in Science...
We
will relate our study of chicken coops to different animals and examine their
habitats. We will think about how the animals depend on plants and other
animals to live and get shelter. We will study habitats from all over the
world.
This
week in Math...
We
will focus on counting collections of coins. A collection of pennies is
counted by 1's. A collection of nickels is counted by 5's and a collection
of dimes is counted by 10's. We will also begin thinking about numbers up
to 120 and find patterns on the hundreds chart. We will learn about place
value by using concrete objects to represent numbers with three digits.
This week’s
life skill of the week is RESPONSIBILITY-
to respond when appropriate; to be accountable for one’s actions. We will
discuss what it means to be responsible and reflect on times that we have shown
responsibility.
Have
a great week!
