Yesterday the children participated in Mill Run's annual "Planting Day." We are so grateful to the moms who came to help! Special thanks to: A.G.'s mom, E.G.'s mom, R.K.'s mom, and J.B.'s mom! While small groups of students were taking turns planting, the rest of us were in the classroom working on a sunflower craft (pictured at right.) Thank you all so much! The children had so much fun, and I know they are proud to have helped make Mill Run more beautiful.
This week we also sent our Flat Stanleys off to visit our friends and relatives. Please see the slideshow below. Again, we couldn't have started this project without your generous help! I will keep you all posted as the Stanleys return to us in a few weeks. We will mark their destinations on a map and review their adventures together.
In classroom news, I will be in the building but away from our class on Tuesday for professional development. I will have limited time on Tuesday to check email, so if you have an urgent need, please contact the school office.
We have slowed the rate at which we add words to the word wall. At this point, the children should be able to read and write the current word wall words independently and with confidence. This is a good time of year to review the word wall words again at home. Thank you!
On Wednesday, we will begin the spring round of PALS testing, followed shortly by DRA testing. All of the reading test components occur within the school day, so it will take several weeks to complete this process. I will include your child's scores in the fourth quarter report card comments, but if you are concerned, please send me an email. They all have achieved so much this year; you will want to celebrate their success!
In math, we are returning to addition and subtraction strategies as well as practicing our math fact fluency on ReflexMath. In science, we are studying plants and seeds.
As always, please contact me with any questions! Thank you!
