Tuesday, April 26

This week we have been learning about the earth, recycling, Earth Day, and plants.  On Monday, we started our centers.  They included cutting pictures from magazines for a store and representing the money amount with coin stamps, flower addition, measuring with inches and centimeters, and making a flower diagram.  We also water colored flowers and wrote about them on watering cans.  These are displayed in our room if you would like to check them out! 

On Tuesday we finished our centers.  We continued working in our math books on graphing and tally charts.  We asked classmates whether or not they like oranges and recorded their answers on a tally chart.  This is something you can have your child practice at home!  In the afternoon we made appreciation apples for other teachers who work with our class.  Next week is teacher appreciation week, so we wanted to make sure they know how important their jobs are!

Tomorrow we will be talking about how seeds grow.  We will be planting tomato seeds and watching them grow over the next few weeks.  We also have some new math centers to try out in the morning. 

DON'T FORGET!  Tonight is McTeacher's Night at the McDonald's in Newville.  If you visit from 4:30-7:30, a portion of the money from your order will go to our school.  Plus, teachers from our school will be there to take your order!
