Museum mode is here! This week we learned about an impressionist artist, Claude Monet. We talked about how his paintings were different from those of the modern artists we looked at last week. Students even got to paint their very own rendition of Monet's most famous pieces. Be sure to look for them at our museum! We will look at other impressionist artists' work next week.
Some hard workers this week!
We practiced finding words around our classroom in our writing around the room activity that start with a different letter. Students have been good at finding lots of different words. Students also wrote in their March journals of what they would like to be when they grow up. We had a lot of different idea including policemen, movie stars, doctors, scientists, and rockstars.
We finished our All I Am books this week. I am super impressed with their writing. They are really using all of their knowledge of letter sounds to create their writing. Look for those books coming home soon!
Today we had a whole school SOARs assembly in the gym. This assembly was focused on the R in our SOARs motto: respect. We have been working on the different characteristics of respect in our room, such as working together, listening when others are talking, and use materials appropriately.

I have begun assessing students on their addition and subtraction facts to five. I sent home the flashcards in January. This is a great thing to practice with your student at home to help them become automatic with the facts.
Keep up the awesome reading with the reading logs!! I love seeing these logs come back every few weeks! If you would like another one sent home, please let me know!
Today in folders were different writing projects students have done in January and February. If you still have some writing from the beginning of the year it is really neat to compare and see the growth!
