On the 2nd of May

Greetings! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. Many of the students were telling me on Friday that they had baseball games this weekend. I hope you were able to get them in. I can't wait to hear about the games tomorrow. 

Our day on Friday began with Mass. Kudos to the band for doing such a marvelous job during Mass. 

It was a wrap up day in Language Arts. We reviewed diphthong ou and VCV words as well as our sight words. We took a test on Mole and the Baby Bird and finished our study of exclamations. We also wrote the concluding sentence to our paragraph on cheetahs. 

In Math class today, we learned how to solve a problem by guessing and checking. We learned that it was ok not to be right the first time and that it is ok to try again until we solved the problem. 

During Science class, we focused on magnets. We learned that magnets attract or repel from surfaces. Pairs of students were then given a magnet and asked to find 3 things in the classroom that the magnet is attracted to and three things it repels. They loved doing this. 

Art class today is a surprise. Here's a hint . . . it has to do with next weekend. 

I wanted to share with you one of our Easter bulletin boards in the classroom. Students were asked to design a puzzle piece before Easter. I then took those pieces and put them together to make a cross. Isn't it beautiful?
