Spring Has Sprung

Today we really celebrated the END of MCAS! We got an extra 15 minutes outside for recess. We had a really fun time, and we even ran into some kindergarten friends. Then we got to have some delicious ice cream cones, courtesy of Alexis and her mom Mrs. J. We loved getting such a nice treat on a warm and sunny day.

Social Studies Update:
Today our last US Regions projects were due! We are all relieved and happy we are finished. We know we'll be very proud when we share our portfolios at the US Expo next week. We also finished reading about the US Regions this week. After we shared our posters, everyone in our groups were able to take at least one poster home with them. Three students shared their hands on projects today. We learned a LOT about the Grand Canyon and about the Alamo. The projects were all excellent!

This week we almost finished reading Charlotte's Web. We are really enjoying this story, especially when we are able to read it using Reader's Theater. We have enjoyed pretending to be Charlotte, Wilbur and Templeton. Next week we will be able to watch the movie Charlotte's Web, and then we'll compare it to the book. We can't wait!

In math, we are learning about three dimensional shapes. It was a busy week.
