I can not even begin to tell you how grateful I am for the outpouring of love that happened last week! I feel appreciated one million times over! From the seven beautiful bouquets of flowers around my classroom to the yummy treats, supplies and a new shelf for our classroom! I'm so excited to use the gift cards that everyone sent as well! Ms. Hughes and I were talking about how spoiled we were this afternoon! This has been a phenomenal week!
Thank you for your generosity and kindness! I can hardly believe my time with your children is almost over! I know I will always remember them for their little personalities and sweet hearts! I hope they will always remember me too!
Thank you again for all of the wonderful things this week! It was amazing!

I will be doing the End of the Year Reading Assessment starting this week until May 20th. This is a time that I will be reading with each child individually to assess their reading level and readiness for next year.
SPRING PBL PROJECT
This week we will wrap up our PBL project. Our students have learned so much about the benefits of a homegrown garden. They have learned that food could come for free if every person in the community takes a small part in growing a small manageable garden. This week we will learn about plants life cycle and work on designing our gardens on the paper as well as in our small mini gardens. We've watched our plants grow from seeds in small egg cartons. We have transplanted some into bigger containers. The children should be able to find the best sunny spots for their mini garden and care for them from then on. They should also be able to tell you what they need to do after little sprouts grow which is transferring them into bigger containers. They are all very excited about their mini gardens!

This week we will work on solving word problems with objects and pictorial models that involve joining, separating, and comparing sets and represent those problems with number sentences. We will solve problems when the unknown as any term in the problem (the sum, the difference, or the unknown part in part-part-whole). Our problem solving theme this week is "Lemonade Stand".
