We practiced rhyming words, writing and reading CVC words. We continued our study of the 7 continents by visiting Europe. We wrote facts about Europe. Also, we discussed how we might catch a leprechaun in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. We completed an interactive writing describing our traps! In math, we discussed and practiced building teen numbers 16 all the way up to 20! We were so glad to meet with you at conferences this week. Thank you for attending!

Enjoy your Spring Break and we hope that you return refreshed and ready to continue learning! To keep skills sharp, you can always be on the look out for sight words around you, listening to and reading books, and writing. We are including a writing assignment in your child’s folder. They are to write about something they did over Spring Break. Remember, you may help if needed, but THEY need to do the writing (and it is okay if it’s not perfect!).
