I hope everyone had a great weekend! My weekend was spent
trying (unsuccessfully) to clean my pool. It was a very relaxing weekend though.
A message from the Cub Scouts:
Does your family like
being outdoors? Are you looking for an affordable way to spend time with your
family that focuses on character development? Is your son or daughter entering
first through fifth grade in the fall? If so, come to our information session
on Cub Scouting, coming up on Thursday, April 26, at 6:30PM in
the Caraway cafeteria. We will be talking about summer programming and info for
joining Cub Scouts now and in the fall. If you’re completely new to the
Scouting program, please see the attached letter and feel free to email me
at committeepack162@gmail.com with any questions.
Thanks and we are looking forward to seeing you on April 26 and
in Scouting next year!

This Week in Writing…
We will be working our
way through the writing process one last time through a family writing story!
You will be able to enjoy reading these at our Knowledge Night on May 3rd!
The students are taking ownership of their writing and working on revising,
editing, adding details and publishing their lovely stories!
This Week in Reading…
We will be reading
cultural folktales and fairy tales. The students already have a foundation of
the elements of folktales/fairytales so it will be fun to add a cultural twist
to these stories! We will be digging deeper into the text and using our reading
strategies to truly understand these stories.
This Week in Science…
We will be learning about
different Habitats. We will focus on the
Rain Forest, Wetlands, Ocean, Coral Reef, Forest, Desert, and Artic
habitats. In this unit of study, we will
focus on the interdependence of the different animals and plants in those
habitats. We will be working as a grade
level to create habitat murals in the 1st Grade hallway!
This Week in Math…
We will be wrapping up
working with the hundreds chart and moving in to 2 digit place value,
money and expanded form. We have learned most of these concepts before, and now
its time to tie them altogether! Students will display mastery of these skills
through problem solving and hands on activities. IXL has great practice on
money and expanded form. (M.3, Q.1-10)
Our life skill of the
week is… Initiative.
Have a great
week!
