Families,

Welcome back from Spring Break! We had a great week sharing about our adventures when we were away and getting back into the swing of things. We started a new reading unit and took a quick break from writing to focus on social studies. Take a look at what is ahead:

Important Dates/Reminders:

• Alward Carnival is tonight from 5:30-8:30! For those of you going, have a great time!
• This will be our last week of our Special Person Days. We have loved getting to celebrate each student in our class and what makes them special!
• Scholastic book orders are due Friday, April 19th by 4:00p.m. If you are interested in ordering, please do so online using the class code NNX2P.

Reading: We will use our topic bags to make connections between fiction and non-fiction, make text to self connections, and compare and contrast our books.

Writing: We are going back to small moment stories and using Mo Willems as our “mentor author.” We will look at all of the great things he adds into his stories (ex: dialogue, speech bubbles, bold words, etc.) and how we can add them to our own!

Math: We will review and test on unit 6 (data collection and comparison bars) and begin unit 7 where we will learn how to tell time.

Word Study: We will review the letter patterns we have learned so far (ai and ay, ea and ee, and oa and ow).

Have a great weekend!
