Welcome back!
Now that Spring Break is over, we're in the final stretch. We have so many new things to discover and explore.
This time of the year is always busy with fairs, and other events before the end of the school year. What we have to do is remember to keep focused on the great learning that must continue in the classroom. We also have to remember to keep treating each other kindly. Lately, we've been having some problems doing just that. I have read the Have You Filled a Bucket Today? series to my class. It is a series of books for younger and older children to remember to treat each other with respect. It could also be seen as a guide to daily happiness for children. You never know how much a kind word or a smile means to the next person.
In reading, we're continuing our study on Storytelling. This week we read a story about a young boy who is afraid of storms. His grandfather tells him a story about when he was young, and how he was afraid of storms as well. It teaches how stories can help you have courage and overcome fear.
We're studying cultures in Social Studies. Soon we will begin our last research project. Each student will be given a culture to research. Once that has happened I'll send home the requirements and the due dates. We'll probably start sometime before the end of the month.
The Plant Growth Unit in science will begin on Monday. If you have an empty egg carton, please send it in. We may need extra planters.
Thank you and have a wonderful, warm, and soggy weekend. :-)
Ms. Lyles
