April 11

Welcome to Celebrate the Arts Week!

The children were treated to a jazz performance today! They also watched a preview of "Singing in the Rain" which will be held this Thursday-Saturday in the Janet Root Theater. On Wednesday, we will listen to YumYum Drums, and on Friday we will have artists visiting our classrooms. Of course, we will also perform for you on Friday! Please plan on joining us to watch the performances at 11:00 followed by a picnic lunch. It will be a fun day!

The new vocabulary words are: (Quiz will be held on Friday, April 22)
Collection Vocabulary-suited, unkept, nagging, connectivity, access, extensive, supervision, employ, horrified, saguaro cactus, jiggled, cracking, theoretical physicist, interprets, converse
Wordly Wise-bold, cunning, deed, doze, jagged, positive, respect, responsible, smuggle, version

We are focusing on making our writing better by "showing not telling", using "strong verbs", adding "super star colors", and using similes in our writing.

We are continuing to work on fractions in math.

Our focus in science is on Our Changing Earth. This week we will discuss rocks and resources.

Our focus in social studies is about early explorers.

Wishing you all a wonderful week, and I hope to see all of you on Friday!
