Wow... where did the year go? My sincerest apologies about not having more updates and photos on the blog. It has been a very busy spring!!!
I do have a few photos that I have posted tonight, but these certainly are not inclusive of everything we have been doing this spring. I know I am missing many special occasions, events, days, and assemblies. Hopefully though, I've capture some of your child's special memories for you. Enjoy!

Here are more photos from Wacky Science Day. Be sure to ask about the Elephant's Toothpaste experiment. That experiment was a demonstration so I do not have photos of the fun.

Hmmm, Spring is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Did anyone tell Mother Nature? The Groundhog was definitely wrong this year. At least the snow day has provided me with the opportunity to post a few photos and give a brief update about our classroom!
March is just flying by. We have been very busy applying all the skills we've been learning all year. During Reading we are applying our phonics skills so we can read more challenging books with better fluency and expression. We are also learning comprehension strategies and strategies for making inferences as we read. As you can see in the photos below, we are also mastering our sight words.
While writing we are now applying our knowledge of quality sentences and grammar to writing fiction and non-fiction texts. We are practicing writing nonfiction paragraphs with introductory sentences and closing sentences. When writing fiction we are focusing on short stories with attention to the story elements of a beginning, problem, solution, and ending.
In Math we continue to stress the importance of mastering the math facts for fluency. Math facts through 10 need to be fluent by the end of the year. We have been learning about time to the hour and 1/2 hour, coin identification through 25 cents, and are beginning to learn about fair shares and fractions.
Buddy Bear has almost completed his tour of homes. We have a few friends still waiting the opportunity to bring Buddy Bear home for a visit. They have been very patient. We're saving the best for last for our friend, Buddy!
Enjoy the snow day boys and girls!

Great News... my eye surgery is over and everything is progressing very nicely. My surgeon is very pleased. I have been given permission to return to work and I'm "looking" forward to "seeing" my students on Monday! Thank you to all for your well wishes and a special thank you to Mrs. LaMarche for taking such wonderful care of my class!
