The Darien Library librarians visited this week and told us all about their summer reading program. EVERYONE wants to participate! Notices were sent home today with information.
We will see a presentation by Shakespeare on the Sound on Friday that will share a bit about the play, "Twelfth Night".
We are working on writing full sentences in our phonics lessons. We need to remember to start with a capital letter, use spaces and punctuation and spell correctly. We can do it! See the photo of our dictation time below.
In Writing Workshop, we learned that persuasive writers can also include their emotions in their writing. We all wrote letters to Mrs. Meno asking for help solving a problem on the playground. We got a checklist to use as a reference so we can see if we've included everything we know in our pieces.
Our math lessons were on measurement this week. See the Chapter 14 note sent home. We measured length and height, and we measured ourselves, too! We've done some serious growing this year!
Science is happening right outside our window! Mrs. Robin's eggs have hatched and she is busy flying back and forth, feeding her babies. She is also chirping really loudly, to protect her nest. We read a book called The Salamander Room, and discussed how the character gave his salamander everything it needed to survive.
News and Notes:
- No School Monday. Enjoy the long weekend.
- Book sleeves are due on Tuesday. Tuesday will be the LAST DAY that we will bring books home from the book room.
- Please make sure that you've received the Save the Dates email/note home for June
