Reminders:
Outside Lunch - We enjoyed the BEAUTIFUL weather today by eating lunch outside! Weather permitting, our plan is to do the same on Monday and Tuesday. Kindergarten is practicing for their performance on Tuesday, so we are giving them their space and eating out side. It’s a win-win for everyone! J
Snacks – Welcome to Spring, and with Spring comes ants. Please be mindful about appropriate snacks for the classroom. Snacks that are hard to open have a greater chance of falling on the floor. Please check backpacks for old snacks as well. Thank you for your help!!

Math
ELAR
This week will be a mix of reviewing various skills we've been working on this year. Skills that we will hit include cause and effect, theme, point of view, and author's purpose. The students are getting more and more confident in these skills as we use fiction and nonfiction text. To help them at home, identify theme while reading their free choice, just right books. Theme is different than a topic. Them is the lesson learned through the characters that can be applied to your life.
In writing, students will be using theme to help direct their story. We will continue to focus on complete sentence structure with SUBJECT and PREDICATES and expand that to include using COMPOUND SUBJECTS and PREDICATES.
Science
Students will learn to identify and describe the flow of energy in a food chain beginning with the sun to producer to consumer and how a food chain is the path of food energy that comes from the sun and is passed on to organisms in an ecosystem.
Social Studies
Students will be focusing on how people interact differently with their enviroment depending on that environments characteristics. Such as the type of houses, where they get their food from, and other natural resources. This week we will specifically focus on life in desserts compared to wetlands.
