Peek at the Week of May 17-21

It's showtime!  We are very excited for this Friday's 'Three Piggie Opera'.  Mr. Allen and Ms. Lindroth have been helping us to prepare for the show.  Thank you to all of the parents who helped with the scenery.  If you have not sent in your $1, please send it in soon.  See you in the Common Room at 9:30!


Reading Workshop: We will be reading many books about caterpillars and butterflies.  Most of these books are non-fiction, but we will also read some fictional favorites such as 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'.

Writing Workshop: We have been having a great time writing poems about anything and everything.  The past two weeks we have experimented with different styles of poems.  This week we will be writing about different topics using the styles we have learned.

Phonics/Spelling: Plural Words:  butterflies, foxes, beaches, teachers, children

Math: We will start Unit 10 this week.  The topics for this week are:  Investigating Number Patterns, Using a Known Fact to Add and Using the "Make Ten" Strategy to Add.

Science: Our caterpillars arrived from North Carolina this past Wednesday.  Our focus will be on learning all about them.  We will be reading about them during Reading Workshop.
