March News

Hello Everyone,
Our classroom door has been decorated by the students with a Spring Break Theme. We have received the best beach theme. The students enjoyed celebrating the week with dress up days and a game of volleyball between the teachers and student teachers. They also enjoyed having a juice bar treat on Thursday.

WOW! We are all excited about our new technology in the classroom. We now have a smart board in our classroom. We have been using it on a daily basis to teach many skills and enjoy adding to our learning. The students will be using it more as the year continues on. Thank you to Mr. Fischer for letting us get this technology in the room.

In reading, we are working in our lit circle groups and also learning about natural disasters. Science is all about types of animals. In Social Studies, we are learning about the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. We are also working on our state books. We are studying fractions in Math. See if your child can tell what fraction of something they are getting like pizza or pie.

Math Groups are now part of our end of the day on two days per week. The students go to other classrooms for intervention/enrichment activities on the subject of geometry. We will then be switching to another topic soon and they will be going to a different teacher.

Happy Spring:)
Ms. Hagen
