Mrs. Marshall
Our caterpillars have now all become a chrysalis and they were transferred into the net bungalow! We should start to see some emerge in a week or so, then after a few days of rest and food, we can release them! We've been documenting their stages and using the magnifying glass to take a closer look at them to make good observations in our journal.
This lesson on inventors has been one of a lot of questions a great curiosity in class. We read about Thomas Edison and his early life as an eager child looking at creating new things and how that passion continued into adulthood and his famous inventions! On our Reading test, we learned more about G.W. Carver-The Peanut Man and the kids had so many questions, I was able to take it a little further so we could learn more with a video clip and discussion.
We extended on more poetry and how often adjective words for sounds and actions are used in a poem. We read Windshield Wipers and Scissors and then extended to create our own poems in our journals!
Our continuation of Tens and Ones to help us with addition of two digit numbers using models and problem solving will finish this coming week to be tested. We will move on to subtraction of to digit numbers next.
Love and Peace,
Mrs. Marshall

Absent notes are a MUST, so please make sure to send one in when your child is absent. If it is 3 or more days consecutively and NOT a family trip, they MUST have a note for a doctor!
Please practice tying shoes; many of the boys and girls still do not know how to do this and it is really important for safety and part of their uniform! There are some really interesting tutorials on Youtube that might help if your child has had difficulty!
