What a lovely week of weather this has been! Let's hope it continues. Playing outside without jackets has become our new favorite thing! 

Evelyn has shared her tadpoles with us and I'm sure I have not ever seen tadpoles this large. They are so interesting and fun to observe! 

Sending a very Happy Mother's Day to all of you Moms out there! I hope your day is special~

We have finished our third and final mission with Go-2 Science. Beth and Curtis are in Thailand to study tigers. We have collected all of the evidence for this mission and now we are tasked with analyzing it and deciding if our hypothesis is true or false. Is there a resident population of tigers living in HKK or not? We will let you know what we think next week! 

We are continuing to practice reading like we are talking instead of word by word and making those sight words more automatic so we don't trip over them when reading our stories.  We also have read many books about animals that hatch from an egg and books about our 5 senses. We are amazing readers!

In writing we have been focused on writing prompts about farm animals, eggs, and our Go2Science mission. We have had too many friends absent for us to begin the How-To unit, so we will head there next week. 

    In math we are working with teen numbers, formation of numbers, addition and subtraction practice, graphing pets, counting and number recognition through graphing , solving number problems, and continuing our calendar routines. Our routines at calendar time include; counting to the calendar number of the day, weather observations, tracking the number of days we have been in school, patterned 10 frames, tally marks, money, and days of the week. 

Upcoming Events:
