Newsletter 6/10/16

In reading and writing lessons, we are working on preparing our summer journals.  These journals help us make a plan for the summer.  Where and when will we read?  What kind of stories?  What time of day?  What topics might you study?  These will come home next Wednesday.

We had a great visit with the first grade teachers who hinted at some of the fun things we’ll learn next year.  Then we hit the field and worked on our athletic and sportsmanship skills.  We were tug-o-war champions!   Thank you for the water and popsicles, Mrs. Barber and Mrs. Schwarz! 

We did everything the pirate way today!  We found hidden math booty, made treasure maps and walked the plank!

Take us out to the ballgame!  We wrote about baseball players, completed bat and mitt phonics sheets and baseball subtraction, too!  Then we made bats and everyone on Team Henry autographed them. 

Happy Camp Day!  We imagined packing up for a camping trip and then we made flashlights!  During reading workshop, we read a camping poem and then used our flashlights to read to our stuffed animals!
