April 5

We had a great day!!!  We are working on our Non-fiction Narrative biographies.  Each child has been paired up with another student in our class.  These partners interviewed each other and today we started to write the actual biographies.  We hope to make a book called the Biographies of Room 73.

Today we started an animal inquiry project with our grade 1/2 buddies.  We are learning about the 5 animal groups.  Can you name them?  While working with our buddies each group chose an animal and they are beginning to do research using the computer and books from the library.  The final project will be an envelope book.  Parents I need your help!!  Is there anyone who has a sewing machine that would be willing to sew some envelopes together for us?

In math we have learned all about 3d shapes and the difference between a pyramid and a prism.  Can you tell you parents the difference.  Also our new word in math in congruent.  Can you tell you parents what this means?

We have started to learn about rocks and minerals.  Please don't forget to bring in 10 or so different rocks.

Have a wonderful evening!
