Reader's CAFE
Readers focused on sequencing and summarizing this week while reading How Groundhog's Garden Grew by Lynne Cherry. We had fun creating our own carrot gardens to summarize the story in sequential order. This week we also created flip-flap-books to explore and apply new vocabulary concepts. Students read My Garden by Kevin Henkes and wrote about what they would grow in their very own gardens.

Caterpillar Update:
In the Garden By Mrs. Grimenstein, Caroline, Olivia, and Colin
Here's what Caroline, Olivia, and Colin have to say about our garden...
This week in school we went into the garden. My group was group two. There were five people in our group. The five people are Patrick, Alexander, Mark, Emma, and I. The people who were helping us are: Mrs. Grookett, Mr. Everman, Mrs. Green, and Mark’s Grandmom. The first station we did was eat snacks and read a book called “Diary Of A Worm.” The second station we had was planting plants and watering them. Our last station was getting our worms, and setting them free in the flower beds. Then, if there is some hard dirt, we could water the dirt. I can’t wait to go in the garden again! Maybe even with our buddies! Have you ever been in Elizabeth Haddon Elementary School’s garden? ~Caroline
This week in school we went outside to the garden .
I was in a group with Tommy, Colin, and Jackson. There were 3 stations . Our first station was with Mrs. Grookett , we planted new plants and I planted a pumpkin. I had a shovel and some gloves. While I was digging, I saw a worm! I picked him up. The next thing we did was letting our worms go. Me and my science partner, Aidan, we both lets our worms go in the soil. We put them in different spots because too many worms in a spot equals all of the soil is gone. The next thing we did was go to Mark’s Grandmother and we ate soft pretzels. Also we read Diary of a Worm. I had a great time!~ Olivia
This week in school I was in the garden. I was with our class. We relest our worms, and plated stuff, and read a book. My favorite part was the hot pretzels. I was sweeting so much.It was sad letting our worms go.But I loved the book. I think you would be a great shaparon.had a great time in garden. ~Colin
The Boy Who Could be Captain Hook By Mimi
Math
We also began our unit on fractions, learning that we need to have equal shares, and the vocabulary we can use to describe these shares, such as "two halves or one third". We will continue with our fractions unit and prepare for our end of the year math assessment. Please remember to keep practicing addition and subtraction facts with your child at home. If they are already secure in these facts, feel free to move on to multiplication.
