This Week in Room 106!
March 28th-April 1st
PLEASE READ
With students not wearing masks I am noticing more and more hands and items going into mouths. Please discuss putting hands and other objects into mouths with your child. I do not know for sure but I do not think anyone from CPS has ever cleaned our floor so please discuss this health matter with your child.

Math
We focused on addition and subtraction symbols. The lessons are reviewing a few concepts we already know but now students are taking more ownership of their work and are asked to explain their thinking and reflect on their work.
Amplify Science-Needs of Plants and Animals
We did it! Animals must have food to survive! The caterpillars left the field because they feed on milkweed plants. When the community changed the kids field to a garden they no longer had milkweed. This week we visited other animal habitats to help us prove that animals all over the world need flourishing habitats to survive. When the weather warms up we are going to plant our own milkweed seeds in our class garden.
Poetry
It’s spring! Starting this week we will study poetry. Each week I will introduce a new poem. The poem will come home each Friday.
Please ask your child to identify the following about their poem:
*sight words
