Welcome to a new week! It is nice to have a full week!

We started our study of habitats last week which is always fun. Your child heard many non fictions stories about the temperate forest and then wrote in their science journal what they learned. They also had a directed drawing lesson on the temperate forest with Mrs. Werner. Their drawings are amazing and you will see them soon when your child brings home his/her science journal.

In math we will continue our study of money. Your child is learning to put the coins in order from the highest value to the lowest and then add the value of all the coins. This is really fun for them so please continue this at home as it is a fun way to help your child and it really makes a difference when the concepts we are studying here at school are continued at home.

After last week's crazy weather, I decided it was a good time to read Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Afterwards, your child pretended to move to the town of Chewandswallow and became a meteorologist. While in Chewandswallow, they wrote their own version of the story. The stories are fantastic so take a minute and stop by to read them.

This week we will read all about Johnny Appleseed and learn how to take facts from a story to retell it to a friend. This story will also help us learn to sequence a story to make it make sense.

Have a great week!
