Dear Parents and Guardians,

- During Grammar, we learned about prepositions including prepositional phrases that tell when and where.
- As part of our phonics skills, we learned more about words with the long vowels pattern o and e.
Writing
- We began to write our informational reports on the Rain Forest Creature we researched.
Math
- We completed Unit 11~ Whole Number Operations Revisited. We took our Unit Assessment.
- We began Unit 12 ~ Year End Review and Extensions. We reviewed the calendar, months and days in a year, as well as telling time.
Science
- All of our Painted Lady Butterflies emerged from chrysalis
- We released our Painted Lady Butterflies into the school garden. The Butterfly Bushes served as a new home for the butterflies.
- We FaceTimed with my sister, Gina. She lives in the rain forest on an island called Dominica ~ located near Venezuela.
Other Activities

Boosterthon Fun Run~ A Good Time Was Had by All!
Our Visit to the School Garden
We divided our class into 3 groups. Each group had a chance to water the plants and sample some lettuce. Each group also planted the marigold plants we grew from the seeds we collected in the fall. Thank you to our awesome parent volunteers: Mrs. Spellmeyer, Mrs. Thomas, and Mrs. Przybylski for all their help. A great big thank you to Jenny Fipp and Lynn Raus for helping us organize our garden visit.
We completed our visit with a tasty frozen treat provided by Mrs. Thomas! Yummy!
My niece, Bernadette, and Francesca Rose joined us for the fun!
