Picture Day is Monday

The children had a great week at school! We have been busy adjusting to daylight savings time and getting back to a regular schedule.
Please welcome Deijah to our class. She joined our room Tuesday.
This week we worked on geometry in math. We measured angles and used academic vocabulary to categorize the angles.
In reading we are reading books on whales and working on writing a complete summary with good conventions.
We have started the Iowa unit in social studies. We have just finished era one which taught the kids how the land changed with glaciers.

Next week we will continue these things and take the district writing prompt.

My high school daughter has qualified to swim at the YMCA National Swim Meet in North Carolina.  It is a very huge accomplishment for her.  I will be attending this with her.  I will not be in school the week of April 4th.  Mrs. Snell will be here for me.  Some of your children had her as a substitute in first grade when Mrs. R. was on maternity leave.  I am NOT giving the children homework that week.
