Carnival Update
The Oaks have narrowed down what the different booths and games will be. They are very excited to make and provide food and beverages. Today we made a list of all the foods and drinks that could be at the carnival. (We encouraged them to think of something healthy for every not so healthy food.) Soon grown up family members will have the opportunity to spend time with us at school as we get ready!
Literacy
In Writing Workshop we edited our work again, but this time focusing on punctuation: periods for simple facts, exclamation points for when something is awesome/exciting, question marks for questions, colons at the start of a list, and commas after each word in the list.
OVER THE WEEKEND PLEASE HELP YOUR CHILD FIND A PHOTO OR PICTURE RELATED TO THE TOPIC THEY ARE WRITING ABOUT. Please have them bring it in on Monday. If you do not have access to a printer, email a link to pascale@brooklyncompass.org.
Math
This week we continued our geometry unit by thinking of what shapes can be used to create rhombuses, trapezoids, and hexagons.
Upcoming trips
We need one more chaperone for our trip to Battery Urban Farm on Thursday 4/14. We will take the subway around 12pm and return to school around 3pm.
Please email Pascale at pascale@brooklyncompass.org if you are interested!
